On some level, we would say that everyone is searching for meaning, truth and freedom in life.
What that means may vary, depending on how a person defines those terms, but many people feel that until they find the answers to those questions, they will remain unfulfilled. So, the demand is there, and thus there is a seemingly endless supply of personal development gurus, offering us what we want. Those answers, that have been hidden from us (deliberately?), all these long, painful years.
There is a challenge we have with that idea, though. Maybe the best way to describe it is to relate the following story to you:
We'd like you to think about the implications of that story for a moment...
If we humans, with all our great knowledge and technological advances, have issues in expressing what the fragrance of a rose is, are we going to accurately describe Love, Truth, God and the meaning of Life??
We put it to you that any "guru" offering us the answers to these questions is, maybe, just a little, full of BS. If taken in that context, you can accept what's useful in their philosophy and discard what is not and then you'll have a more refined version of your BS.
In the final analysis, if your BS works for you, if it is serving you in a constructive way as you deal with life, what else really matters?

Anyway, that's our bullshit. We'd love to hear yours, so leave us a comment below!
