The Meaning of Life

 

This is a revelation which has been decades in the making ; The meaning of Life. It is practised by the very successful as well as countless ordinary people in all walks of life without some of them (I speculate) knowing. 

The meaning of life is intertwined with the purpose of life. You need to find your purpose or goal in life. That will be the start point. It is different for each and every one of us ; but the fundamentals are the same ; Set the goals as early as you can ; I recall setting them when I hit 40 years of age.

  SERVE YOURSELF

> Set your life goals ; clearly (financial, family, health, personal and relationships for example)

> Achieve them either fully or partially. There will come a point where you say, I have enough.

Ensure you have set aside so much for your retirement nest egg for you and your partner for example for the next say 20 years. 

  SERVE OTHERS

> Help others who are not so fortunate or determined set and achieve their life goals too. 

In the process of helping others focus on their life's purpose and uplifting their condition you will find meaning in yours too.

That to me is the meaning of life.

Its simple yet it is most profound as the goals you set are intertwined with those around you, and your challenges which you face on a daily basis.

Many people have done so, like my parents. When the time comes when their health challenges or other aspects of life overcome their ability to serve their ownsevles and they lose that ability, they say, OK my work is finished.

Carpe Diem.
