The meaning of life
What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? Is there a God or isn’t there, and if there is a God, what is its nature? Of all the world’s religions, which one is the most correct? Is there an afterlife? Are we primarily physical beings or spiritual beings?
People have struggled for millennium to tackle these questions. Wars have been fought over them. But as much as these questions cause people to lose their heads sometimes figuratively, sometimes literally yet the bottom line is that these are very practical questions.
The way we answer these questions will provide the ultimate context for everything else we do with our lives. If we place any value on our lives at all, we must give some consideration to these questions.
When you get clear about what you truly believe about reality by observing your actions and admitting the deepest, darkest truths to yourself that you never wanted to face, you’ll set yourself on a path of growth that will put all your earlier accomplishments to shame.
You’ll unlock access to resources that were previously dormant greater intelligence, greater awareness, greater conscience. And you’ll finally start living up to the greatness that has been too long buried under a pile of denial.
Don’t be afraid to face who you really are. You’re a lot stronger than you realize. Tomorrow we’ll explore how you can make the biggest decision of all: How shall you live, and for what?
