THE MEANING OF LIFE

For millennia, man has sought to find his role in life. Many sadly have no such direction in their lives and live only to awake the next day to repeat the same routine, day in and day out. While establishing routines are certainly essential in preventing one's life from becoming complete chaos, one should also remember that a life spent living the same day, day after day, is a life which was not lived. It is typically in our last remaining moments on this earth that we look back on our lives and realize life is short. A life spent in extremes provides little meaning to one's sense of purpose. The key to enjoying a life of happiness and harmony is balance - a balance of spirituality, health and fitness, family, leisure time, education, and your career.

Reading that, if your first thought was associated with obtaining more money, then you are already on the wrong track. Everything begins with the mind and acceptance of where you are today; right now in this very moment. Yes. Right now. You are where you are because of a series of events in which your hand played a role, whether major or minor. It is for this reason that your destiny is largely in your own hands, and if you spend your life believing you will get what is deserved to you, you are soon to be let down. The most successful people do not wait for what is possibly due to them, they go out and make it happen themselves.

Find what makes you happy, what brings comfort to those you carry responsibilities over, and what makes you you. Your mind and heart have incredible power. Use them for good. If you do not understand your own mind or your own heart, then you cannot control them. If you cannot control them, you will lack balance. If you lack balance, you will live a life of chaos either internally, externally, or both.
