What is the meaning of Life?
For so many, life consists of going to work 5 days per week, getting that pay check, paying the bills and looking forward to retirement. That's mundane at least, boring at best at best, but, and this is an enormous 'but', if you don't know any better, then that's perfect for you.
Imagine the exciting life the earthworm has, but he/she never complains.Now it could be that the earthworm does not complain because it can"t speak, or a more simple explanation is that the earthworm is unaware of any other possible life. Occam's Razor suggests that the earthworm does not have a clue as to what it is missing, and so the meaning of life for the earthworm is doing what it's designed to do.
You on the other hand are reading this blog, comprehending the implications of this and suddenly you realize that your life should have more purpose, more meaning than what it has at present. (For all you earthworms out there, just go back to Facebook and post something.)
If you are still with me, then lets explore some options to change your present situation. I suggest that life's meaning is found in your purpose. Once you are actively fulfilling your purpose on this earth, life, your very existance has meaning, depth and fulfillment. Fulfillment is inherent in purpose. Key to a fulfilling life is to find your personal purpose and then fulfill that.
Are you ready for your personal adventure?
