What is the meaning to life?

“We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers.” - Carl Sagan

This question we always ask, usually at the crossroads of our life when we question all that is and who we are.
                       “What is the meaning of existence?”
Nothing, perhaps there is no meaning,it just is. Perhaps the whole point of our existence is to just be, to experience ourselves and perceive ourselves through different lenses, through different forms of perception mirroring each other.


For instance, that bird on top of that tree, is me, another form of me which I am perceiving and who is perceiving me. That tree is also me and I am that tree. What about that child, mother, teacher, store assistant, elder on that park bench or the passerby who we don't even glance... It's all the same. Perhaps this too is the root of true compassion and understanding. 

So the meaning of life, the meaning of us, is to just be. Experience and understand ourselves. Be ourselves and appreciate ourselves as we are. 

 Or maybe it’s just for the fun of it........
Perhaps there is no true answer to this mystery, we try to find answers and think we found them only to gain more questions. To some this could frustrate but ask this... What would life be without mystery? without searching and learning and exploring? Mysteries are not meant to be answered for there is not only one answer, it's all perception, mirrored reflections of ourselves through stories we write and live by.

Endlessly on this journey, I was wearily searching for answers until I realised I found more joy in seeking questions.


It is the search that gives something value
 No one knows anything, no one knows everything, in the end why waste it on hate and debate?

So have fun with it, share gratitude, be kind when you can - to yourself and others- , love, transform, have your adventures, change and find yourself within the dark moments, cry and laugh when you feel, learn to let go and flow and don’t take it too seriously.

                                         It's Ok to just BE

So...what does the meaning of life mean to you?
