The Meaning of Life

Simple question: What is the meaning of life? Shouldn't there be a simple answer?...But there isn't. And people keep asking. The problem is there isn't one answer because none of us are the same. All the millions and billions of humans that have ever lived are different and unique. There may be similarities but no two people are exactly the same. Therefore, if you want to know the meaning of life you have to nosce te ipsum: know yourself.Once you know yourself you can es te ipsum: be yourself; and your life can have meaning. 

In order to know yourself you have to ask a lot of big questions. Knowing yourself is like a journey. The stops on the way and the scenery as you explore are just as important~or maybe more important~than the destination. 

This blog will try and tackle some of those big life questions. My hope is to share life experiences, triumphs and trials, from my own journey. I also hope to give some lenses to help you see yourself and your relationship to the world more clearly.  

Feel free to ask questions, bring up topics, join the discussion, and let's enjoy discovering the meaning of life together!!

  1. Although each person is different, and life's circumstances are as diverse as one can imagine, life's meaning (or purpose)has been and will always be the same. The application of that meaning to each circumstance is the great unifier.
