This one is for all the hopeless wanderers.
Life is very strange, no matter how you twist and turn it.
Very strange.
For example; an indescribable fact that we are all made of the same substance as the most intelligent, creative and amazing life forms in the universe. Additionally we are a complex of exactly the same material as the highest mountains on earth and the brightest stars in our galaxy.
To begin with, I wonder why are we so overly impressed and interested in the great deeds and material things?
When it's the tiny things that together make the big things possible!
Why do we all try create our own little worlds, where we can imagine that we have complete track of our existence? When we can only be absolutely certain that we don't.
Why do we continue to nag about the most important thing is to be yourself!?
But finding ourselves being awkwardly alike in almost everything in life.
Why do children believe in fairies? When adults don't.
And why do we so often catch ourselves hung upon things that we don't agree on?
When it's the differences that make life interesting.
Half of the world is upside down, so there's no reason that we should agree on everything.
Why do we choose to argue and fight when emotions run high? When it less dangerous and much more fun and relaxing to dance or just stop in the heat of the moment, take a deep breath and listen to good music.
Our species is fully occupied by appearence. We all have blinders on and only see what we think we want to see. When we finally open our eyes, we are most probably shocked by how blind we've been when we looked at the world and got it to match our own little plans.
With blinders off, we can look at ourselves and ask factual questions about the universe and our place in it.
In other words, the meaning of Life.
What is the meaning of Life?
It is often said that "life is a journey", but where?
Some say that life is to seek knowledge.
Some say life has no meaning, it just "is".
Then there those who believe that we are only here to raise a family and pass our family name on to the next generation.
But, which is true?
Maybe all of them...
The 'theme' that rings through all these theories of life is Love.
Love is the powerful and enduring force that brings real meaning to our daily life.
Don't misunderstand me now, I don't mean romantic kisses, hugs and smoochi stuff even if that is quite wonderful.
The love I'm talking about is the fire that burns within us all, the inner warmth that prevents us from freezing in despair of winter.
Love for Life!!
That feeling which gives you pleasure and makes you realize that some things in life are worth dying for, but even better worth living for.
Love for life makes us want to help others just because it feels good.
Remember to take care of yourself to be the best of You for the ones you care about and tell the ones you care about/love to take care of themselves for you, so you all can be the best of who you all are individually for each other.
The truth is that we are often are so focused on what we are doing, that we just continue walking to the direction where our nose is pointing.
What are we really doing?
Our time is full of distractions, impossible deadlines and difficult priorities.
We run and run to get to a perfect point in life, but then what?
Some describe it as; "it's just like when you drive all the way to the store, get out of the car, walk into the store and while at the store, you forget what you were going to get"
So many of us start with dreams of a wonderful and comfortable free life, but usually we end up far away from what we imagined it to be.
Sometimes you realize this when you get old and when you can't start over or do anything about it.
Here are some advice from a young woman who still is trying to find her path in life, Me;
It's quite unlikely that you will one day swim in a glorified light, where you are in a heavenly revelation and find the true meaning of life, and you will certainly not find it on TV nor on any website.
The best way is to pull back and take the time to ponder the big questions.
The exercise is not difficult, it's just about being honest and real towards yourself.
For some it's about finding beautiful and true moments in life and then make a plan. But for others, it can feel like staring into the abyss.
Thinking can make your brain swell and become dangerously huge, it's worth it.
You might realize what it is that YOU really want, but can't quite get to it.
Suddenly, it strikes you. Just like when you are half way to school and you remember you forgot your phone at home.
Once you realize what you are passionate about and what you want to do, DO IT!
You can not afford to waste one precious second.
Follow your dreams.
We are all born with tremendous potential. But sadly most of us are lazy and preoccupied with what others may think or fear of change that we never dare to stretch out our wings and realize what we are capable of.
What's important is that you do your own thing, so that YOU are happy, no matter what it is as long as you feel good, genuinely good, not that good feeling you get by injecting substances into your body.
Meanwhile, remember whatever you do, mistakes are a part of life. Don't waste any time to torment yourself for the past.
Once you are determined to follow your own dreams, many, even those who love you may try to hold you back.
But continue to walk your own path, do not let people influence your thoughts and values in a negative way.
Walking your own path won't be easy, but rewarding.
Some days will be better than others, and some worse. Do not give up, remember that you have to fight for what you want sometimes.
It's extremely hard to do something you don't like nor care about, every day.
When you like what you're doing, you can throw off your quilt each morning in happy anticipation of the new day and fill the days of others with joy, which is contagious.
This way you will inspire others to emasculate their dreams, which leads to the fact that YOU can change the world.
You know what?!
Even if you make big mistakes, if you are wrong in almost everything, life will still be an amazing adventure. You can go to bed at night and know that you gave everything, you gave all your best and that your effort meant something. And when you wake up the next day you will look forward to a life that is beautiful and exciting as you ever had dreamed of.
Look at the little thing, we touch peoples lives simply by existing.
If you follow the voice of your heart and use your head, you can never be wrong!!
