The Meaning of Life?

I’m still looking for the meaning of life. What is it? What does it mean? Is it important? These are some of the questions that I go through when contemplating the oft asked question, “What is the meaning of life?”

Once a wise man was asked what is the meaning of life? He replied, ‘Life itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create a meaning.”

What do you think? Some truth to that assumption? I think life is what you make of it. You take what is handed to you, the good, the bad, the ugly, and make the best of it. It is not easy, it never is, but a certain mindset is needed to come out smelling like a rose after waddling in the mud with pigs!

The definition of life is up to you. It embraces your personal experiences and the values you hold dear to you. However, it also arises from the choices and values you choose to embrace. Perhaps, the most important concept is that your life matters and it has meaning so you move forward, learning as you go. Maybe, at some point you will learn the real meaning of life but then again maybe not!
