Dear Erin and people of this great forum,
There's a question I need to ask about purpose and doing something that feels good to you, basically, the question is: can a person who's doing his purpose and is a garbage man, have more personal growth at the end of his life than a buddhist monk, who's doing it, aiming at reaching enlightenment, because he thinks it is a good thing, but that wasn't his purspose?
I'm asking this because I've been reading about buddhism, and began to think that enloghtenment is the purpose in life, but have just discovered somthing new (playing the piano- I used to play it when I was younger, and after a couple of years of not playing, I tried it again) that made me feel so happy (more than in years) and invigorated and so full of life, and like this is a thing I want to just keep doing. But thoughts about "staying in samsara (life without enlightenment)" have entered my mind (what if I become a musician and don't aim at enlightenment).. and now I'm really confused..
I think a healthy mindset should be doing what you feel amazing doing (if you've found something like that), but I'm still kinda confused..
So that's why I'm asking this.. I would Toataly appreciate any thought and feedback on this from Erin or anybody who has some insight..
Thanks
