The reality of the matter is that you can’t outrun the bad things that life will inevitably throw at you, but you must learn to endure and adapt to the challenges that life will offer you. Life won’t always be sunshine and butterflies, but that doesn’t mean that you need to let your surroundings dictate how you think and feel about life. You can instead choose to view life in a positive light and to appreciate all of the little joys that come your way.
Life isn’t a puzzle to solve; rather, it’s something that you should simply experience and cherish. The gift of life is incredible, and we should spend every day living life to the fullest. Your “fullest” will look different every day, however. Some days, you might travel to another city and spend the day exploring your surroundings, and other days, you might sit at home and read a good book or watch a movie.
Sure, there are going to always be problems with the way things are, but you have to remember that you won’t be able to solve every problem. Sometimes, a kind word to a stranger can help bring some good into the world, and it solves a problem on a smaller scale. You might not solve world hunger, but if you can brighten up someone’s day, then I’d say you’ve accomplished plenty.
The meaning of life is going to be different for everyone. You could ask several different people, and they will all probably come up with their own unique answer to the question. I think that life is simply meant to be lived. The meaning of life is to experience it! To find joy in the little things, to love “too much,” to feel the wind and the rain, and to have as many experiences as you can. Because life, after all, is an experience in and of itself, and it is something that we should enjoy.
Outstanding post. Very well put.
