Can anyone tell me the point to life? To living? To being?
It is an odd thought, or maybe it is more of a 'far out there' question, but really, what is the point of life. I wake up each morning striving to do good in the world. Trying to spread love where I walk in the lives of people that are around me. I mess up. Each day I try to be a good person, but I always seem to fall short along the way. I tend to say the wrong thing. I allow my emotions to take over and I act the wrong way. There are even many days when I feel like I did nothing good, but rather I spread bad to those around me. So, I tend to think (especially lately) what I am doing and what is the point to any of it?
I guess what keeps bringing me back to reality. What keeps helping me to wake up each morning and to push through each day is the simple fact that there must be something meaningful to this life. I simply have not discovered it yet.
Through the years I have suffered a lot of pain, heart break, lose, suffering, and discouragement. There is no way that all of that was for nothing. I know that there is more to life than what I am seeing or feeling right now. There has to be. I know that I didn't go through what I have for nothing.
There is purpose to life no matter how beaten down we feel, or how discouraged we become.
There is purpose. I am convinced of that fact.
We simply have to find it, and sometimes finding it will of course be hard and long. We will have to keep reminding ourselves that there is purpose out there for each of us. And in the end I still do believe that everything that happened in the past will be worth it. It will have made us stronger.
So, I continue to come back to feeling without a purpose, but I keep working at it. I keep working at this nutty thing called life. It does help when I get to experience those little moments when the love that I show is reciprocated with warmth and joy from another. In those little moments I see God again and I am reminded to keep going... to keep pushing... and to never give up. And above all I am reminded to always do everything in life with pure love for everyone. Even we feel down and out we might at least be able to make be a light in someone else's life through love.
