When You Ask "What's The Point?"
02/06/23 • 31 min
It's a question that we've all asked ourselves from time to time. "What's the point?" We all have moments where we stop and wonder and search for the reasons we're doing what we're doing.
Whether it be in our creative pursuits or any of our other endeavors, sometimes it can feel like the ferris wheel of life just keeps spinning around and around, never reaching its destination. We can go through burnout cycles over and over again without ever seeing the outcomes or results that we're really looking for.
And then, every once in a while, we'll just stop the madness and ask ourselves "What's the Point?"
I've been there too.
What we're really asking ourselves in those, what's the point moments is about deeper purpose, not just the purpose of your day to day activities, but of life. Yeah, I'm getting deep here, I'm talking about the meaning, you know, the meaning of life, the deeper purpose of how we're really making a difference in the world.
We're not asking what's the point of our day-to-day activities; (well maybe we are sometimes) but today we're going deeper than that—we're talking about life's deeper purpose. The meaning behind what we do with our lives, and how are we making a difference in the world.
I'll also update you on those 15 pounds I'm losing!

Showing Off the New Show
Episode 053. It's happened! The big awaited name change for this podcast. This show is officially formerly known as Curiosity's Apprentice and is now the Marijanel Show.
I'm moving forward into an new season and I'm inviting you to come with me.
Living creatively, I've been forced time and time again to reinvent myself and learn and figure out how to make a creative living.
I play back for you the promise I made in epsiode one. That this podcast would be messy, and I share how I've come to learn that...all great masters started as disasters.
I'm decluttering my creative activities and getting clarity of what to keep and what to let go of, and this podcast is something I'm not letting go...and so here we go!

Why I've Only Kissed One Man (Ever!!!)
055. Do you believe me? I've only kissed one man in my life.
It's not because I'm not curious or that I don't want to try new things...I'm Curiosity's Apprentice after all. Here in this episode I'll tell you why I've only kissed one person and how I actually feel about it.
Have I missed out? Do I get bored? I'll tell you the truth.
I'll also give my top kissing tips compared to internet advice and how to teach your person what you want in a kiss. Is kissing an art and can someone learn it how you like it?
After 28 years of marriage I've learned it's never too late to show your partner what kind of kisses work best for you, even if it feels funny to do it.
I'll also share two incredible stories of extreme kindness that will blow your mind. Both stories are about a person who never puts himself in the spotlight and who makes it possible for others to shine. Not only will your heart be warmed and prompted toward acts of kindness but you will feel inspired to look for those qualities in the people you align your life with.
Who you spend time with Is who you become.
I've learned some valuable life lessons from watching my husband gold pan. You'll be deeply inspired to hear the connection I've made between wading through icy rivers and digging in the dirt for gold in the literal sense, and how metaphorically our lives require that kind of perseverance and patience to get to the true value.
You'll come away from today entertained with new kissing techniques and inspired to look for gold in your life and relationships

Transcript
Hi there and welcome to the Marijanel Show, formerly known as Curiosity's Apprentice. The first 50 episodes of this podcast were dedicated to me sharing my stories through audio.
