More Than Just a Wooden Guitar Stand: Finding Life’s Purpose

More Than Just a Wooden Guitar Stand: Finding Life’s Purpose in the Little Things

At some point, each of us pauses and asks — Why am I here? Is there something deeper guiding our path? What are we truly striving for?

There are fleeting yet powerful moments in life when everything feels just right — when you’re completely present, and you think, “I wish I could stay here forever.” That feeling becomes a benchmark. A high. From then on, we chase it — in work, in relationships, in silence, and even in the corners of our homes. Sometimes we reach it. Sometimes we go beyond. And with each step, the bar lifts a little higher. Whether it’s placing your favorite guitar on a beautifully crafted wooden guitar stand or simply creating a space that reflects your passions — it becomes part of that pursuit of joy.

We all know life has an expiration date. Some have more time, some less. So the real question becomes — how do we live fully in the now?

Often, the answer lies in the quietest, simplest joys. Sitting around with your wild bunch of friends, playing your favorite tune beside your wooden guitar stand, tending to your little greens on a wooden plant stand, curling up with a book next to your wooden corner bookshelf, or building a cozy music studio in your room — that’s where life really lives. In laughter, in creation, in doing what you love.

I’ve seen people lie down on grass, staring at stars, holding onto that stillness. Some light up at the sound of applause. Others, like my father, feel most alive counting numbers. Joy doesn’t have a single form. And who are we to judge what someone else finds meaningful?

I remember a difficult time — alone in a new city, missing home, sitting on a park bench with tears in my eyes. A stray dog came and quietly rested at my feet. His warmth grounded me. I didn’t understand life’s grand purpose at that moment — but I knew I had that moment. And it mattered.

Even now, I don’t claim to know my exact purpose. But I value this moment. The present. This breath. This feeling. I try to find that spark — while dancing, laughing, failing, playing with my son, working on my passions, or rediscovering old hobbies. And yes, even when I’m rearranging my wooden furniture for home, organizing my thoughts with Notion, or adding another title to my cart while I buy bookshelf online.

And I urge you to find your spark too.

Support your hobbies. Nurture your curiosities. And embrace what makes you feel alive.
