Pursuit of Happiness

My name is Spencer Foley. I am an actor living in Vancouver, BC. This blog consists of everything from my writing and thoughts, to thought-provoking quotes and images. Thanks for stopping by.

Make art not war.

  • This made me cry. However although it is sad it is also ever-so inspiring. We all waste so much of our precious time second guessing and not acting, caving to constraints in life that literally mean nothing, and stressing out about our lives that do not “mean” anything in the first place. So many people walk around in search of a meaning to life, I used to be one of those people. I can’t count how many nights I used to stay up and dig myself into a hole of confusion in my own mind. It was hard to escape from. However once I realized that instead of finding a meaning to life we instead create it, a whole new relevancy to my surroundings was discovered. Life is beautiful, and everything and anything that it is made up with is a miracle and is already perfect just the way it is. Once we can realize that there isn’t anything else except what we are experiencing right this moment, we can really be present to any possibility we can imagine.
