Essence Of Life
Life is one of those things that is impossible to explain because it means
something different to everyone. What is considered important to one may be
minute to another. Some People aren't the least bit concerned about 'Life'; they
just live it. Some people just follow what seems to be the normal guidelines of
living, like studying only enough to pass the exam. Yet, after the exam, what have
you learned, how much can you recall? Thats the same concept that could be
applied to life. What have life taught you, what is your life's purpose?
"The unexamined life is not worth living."
Socrates (469 BC - 399 BC), in Plato, Dialogues, Apology
The Essence Of Life is simply what is important to you. At the end of the day, what
helps you sleep better? To me, it is imperative for everyone to know what makes
their life complete. No one can tell you this, it is something that lies within you.
Think about what makes you feel complete, content or happy.
"Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude
towards us." Earl Nightingale
Some people spend their entire lives seeking their purpose, not realizing that
they might have already found it. The search for their purpose or even the
purpose of life becomes their Essence of Life. Let no one tell what should are
shouldn't, could or couldn't make you happy. Happiness is your fulfillment of
those things that are important to you.
Theres many things that can be important to you - Love, Religion, Money, Family,
Sex and so much more. Your happiness can be based on a combination of
things. It is the importance of these things that becomes your Essence of Life.
Yet, it's not what you do but how you do it. If what makes you happy also makes
you sad, you may need to reevaluate your actions. It may not be what you enjoy
that is bring you strife but the manner in which it is being done. All things should
be done with respect and love of one's self and other. Crime, violence, drugs and
the deliberate humiliation of others are the only things that are unacceptable.
