The Meaning Of Life

What is the meaning of life? To be more specific what is the meaning of our own life? What is the purpose of us being here? We may never know the answer to these questions because they are so philosophical in nature. We'll get as many answers as the people we ask. Depending on their past experiences, educational and cultural background, we may receive a variety of explanations. It's in our nature to ask questions, not that it's the best thing for us to do because sometimes the search for answers keep us from moving forward. Trying to figure out life's puzzles may get frustrating at times because the answer may not come in words but an experience. It's time we release our questions to the universe and live our life knowing our purpose is hidden somewhere in our day to day experience. Know that it's not in the knowing that we find our purpose, it's in the living. Today, be present in all that you do. For it's in the present that you will experience the meaning of life.
On such a beautiful day, we can contemplate about life forever...

(It's so easy to get caught up in my "Why" questions, when I'm walking by myself on such a beautiful day. Although I ask, I'm not expecting any answers to come. I think it just makes me feel better to formulate questions in my mind. Part of the healing process is knowing what you don't know and being okay with that. Or not wanting to know the answers because then I'd have to work on them. Oh well, it's another beautiful day in Paradise.)
