Every person in their lifetime hears the phrase, "It's all apart of your Journey." For generations upon generations, people have been generating life around the prospect that it ends eventually and what you do with your time while your here, must count for something. It must have meaning, and so we spend this "Journey" Trying to find the one great purpose that we were put here to do. But what no one seems to realize, even in the grand scheme of it all, not everyone will find their purpose. Somewhere out there someone will not live up to the potential they were destined for. So if that is the case, is the meaning of life to have purpose?
There is also the idea that the meaning of life is to have a family and love the people in your life that matter. But there is that truth again, that somewhere out there, someone grows up alone, with no one in their lives. So is the meaning of life to have people you love to for-fill it?
Now I come to the idea that happiness and living every moment to its fullest is the meaning of life. To embrace the beauty of the very moment your existing in. But, reality shows us that not all people are willing to live life on the cuff, they believe in planning things out long term and the short term doesn't count for much. So the question then comes, is the meaning of life to be happy and to be present in the time your in right now?
Life is about learning right, the meaning of life has been said to be doing and experiencing and learning things that will enrich your life. Its about teaching others how we can all be better to one another or to our planet. But there are still people out there that litter, that choose conflict over peace, who hates the idea of learning and school and has no intention of bettering the world we live in, so then is the meaning of life to embrace learning and doing as much as you can?
Faith is powerful, it enriches your soul and your life. Churches build community's and from them steams hope and possibility and it has been noted that the meaning of life is to serve the one in which you believe. To find the "heaven" you seek in the after life. Is the meaning of life through service of ones belief and in basing your life on the concept of those beliefs?
All these questions, all these scenarios, where am I going with all this you ask? I am going in the direction, that there is no direction. No one reason or path, or concept. The meaning of life is simply whatever you choose it to be. What I do in my life, what I believe, how I live...it only effects me and those that know me, so my so called destiny can not be the same as another. No matter what you hear, or what your told. The meaning of life is found within your own self. its not complicated, its not this big out of reach question that everyone thinks it is. When you sit down and think about what the meaning of your life is. The first thing that comes to your mind, is what your life is supposed to be. Stop basing every choice on what others guide you to follow. Do what you feel, go in the direction you want to. The answers will be right there, no matter what direction you roam. Its all right there within your spirit, in your self. We all have our own scripts of the movie plots we live, and each one of them is an academy award winning performance with a message that will impact another, somewhere, in some point in time. We are all a ripple in the ocean, and each of those ripples makes a mark in the sand, it may eventually fade into nothing...but one truth remains...it existed in the first place.
