This is a wonderful pyramid I use to plan my life goals many times . Every once in a 8 year period which is the so called significant 'installments' of life ( 8yrs, 16 yrs, 24 yrs, 32 yrs,40 yrs and so on) you are stuck without a plan and you are clueless where you are heading ,what are you doing and actually what is the purpose of everything. Don't get me wrong -I am far from being philosophical or idealistic but I always seem to have the inquisitive twist of a conscience which urges me to reach the deepest levels and make everything I do and stand for meaningful, at least for me-which is most important ! Aristotle said "happiness depends on ourselves". Nothing can be more true. Happiness is a choice you are making every time. Likewise, living a life plan is a choice. The other choice is to 'ride the wave' and take it as events are offering you. "The greatest revolution in our generation is the discovery that human beings , by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives"- William James .

Sometimes, once in a while you can invert the pyramid and start from 'what I need to do' and get answers for -Why we exist. Does this sound complicated ? Ponder on the pyramid and fit answers and you will see a clear path ahead. Every time I do this I feel like I am travelling in a hazy cloud and then I am suddenly out of the cloud and into bright sunlight and every thing is so clear including the tiny droplets of dew on the leaves and and the rings of fire around the sun and the cumulus clouds lazily floating about. I can feel all my senses ready to go as if I got up from the deepest and most restful slumber and I can can hear everything so clearly including the gurgling of the faraway streams and the birds playfully chirping and competing with the crickets and the smell of the first monsoon mist.

Some of us get this feeling after a glass beer too !!!:)))
