What is the meaning of life?... What is the purpose of life?...

When I talk about the meaning of life, I'm referring to the meaning, or reason, "why are we here?".

When I mention the purpose of life, I'm referring to YOUR life's purpose, or in other words, what things your life should be surrounded by...

I'll explain this in more detail later, but for now, recognize that there's a difference between the two... OK, now that's out of the way, let's move on...

Throughout this website, I've tried my utmost to create meaningful articles that have the power to change your life forever - in a positive way of course! Of all the articles on this website, this is by far the MOST important...

The question we MUST ask ourselves

Have you ever wondered, "what the meaning of live is?" Yes?...

GOOD, if no then shame on you... :-)) Only joking...

But seriously...

You and I, everyone for that matter, really should think about it or have thought about it at some stage. This is one of those questions that has no right or wrong answers. The answer you come up with will be because it makes the most sense over all the other answers that were swirling around in your head...

Naturally, because of this people will come to different conclusions about what they think life's meaning is. Can I just take this opportunity to point out that I do not have any conversation for you about religion in this article. Though I may have faith, I certainly don't want to push it upon you..

If you've read other articles on this website then you may know about building solid 'foundations'. If you haven't and don't know what the hell I'm on about, then click here to learn more. There's also a personality test (and yes, it's FREE!) that will assess how solid your foundations are...

Make sure answer is sensible

Having a 'sensible' opinion about life's meaning is SO important... If I've said that already then apologies :-).  You see, when you have an opinion about the meaning of life, you then have the perfect basis in which to build your foundations upon...

Of any self improvement you may decide to embark upon, you must have an opinion about life's meaning, that's a MUST and not a should! Again, you'll understand this if you're familiar with the foundations I referred to earlier.

"So Ishmail, what's your opinion on the life's meaning? Sorry, I mean "SENSIBLE" opinion?" OK, no need for sarcasm, I wasn't being obnoxious when I said 'sensible opinion' about the life's meaning", NO! It's important that it's sensible because it will shape your whole perception of life and will greatly influence your life's direction.

Obviously, if your conclusion about the meaning of life is NOT sensible then quite possibly your life won't be either!...

My opinion about life's meaning

So, do you have a conclusion about life's meaning? If yes, is it sensible? Or perhaps you're struggling to come to a conclusion? Either way, here's my conclusion about the purpose of life, hopefully you'll find it sensible enough ;-)...

My opinion about the meaning of life is this...
 

I guess you want me to explain, right? OK, but first off, what do you think I mean?...

Have a think about it before you read on...

Are you thinking about it or have you just stuck two fingers up at me and continued reading on?...

I suppose I can't force you to think about it and innocent until proven guilty and all that, but I'm watching you... ;-))

Here's my explanation, first I'll talk about emotions...

At a push I can think of 31 different human emotions but I'll just give you the 6 most important, they are... in no particular order...


How does this apply to my theory of life's meaning? Well, every second of everyday, we are feeling some kind of emotion. It might be super intense or barely noticeable...

"So what about the 'choices' that you mentioned?"...

Just like emotions, we are faced with choices every second of everyday. Again, some choices are minuscule and hardly noticeable, while others are mammoth and very noticeable...

So for example...

You're reading this page now, that's a choice you've made (A good one too ;-))). Also, you are constantly making a choice as to whether you wish to continue reading this article or not...

The statement "I don't have a choice", is not quite true. Even if someone holds a gun to your head and demands all your money, you still ultimately have a choice in what you do next!...

Fit the pieces to the puzzle

By coming to a conclusion about the meaning of life, you can now construct your life around it. So for example, because I have a theory about the meaning of life, I can move on to 'step two', which is to 'establish' my life values and what sort of person I should be, based on my conclusion about the meaning of life...

Now do you get what I meant when I said your opinion MUST be sensible?

So, from my meaning of life theory I have concluded that life should be about being a good, happy person that contributes to society in a meaningful way.

Can you see how having a theory on the meaning of life has helped me to shape my life and give it direction. Once you know your purpose in life (or your life's purpose), then you gain clarity about your life and where it needs to go for you to live a happy, fulfilling, meaningful life...

I believe if everyone had a 'sensible' opinion on the purpose of life (or even A, opinion), then the world would be a better place to live in. And for all you parents out there, there's no better lesson you can teach your bundle of joy than the meaning of life!

So that's the meaning of life issue cleared up. Now for...

Your purpose in life...

Here's my theory...

I believe that we have a creator that created us different and unique so that we can play our own role in the 'Master Plan'. I believe that your purpose in life is arrived upon by knowing what makes you juiced about life.

If you believe there's any truth in my meaning of life theory, then doesn't it make sense to indulge yourself in the emotions you want to feel, as often as possible?...

Course you do!... Don't you?...

So, it makes sense to pick the choices in life that leave us feeling the emotions that we want to feel. Obviously, it may take something different for you to feel 'juiced' about life then it would for me...

So what's my point?...

My point is this...

Moving Forward...

YOUR purpose in life can be established by knowing what you need to do to feel the emotions you want to feel...

Make sense?...

"So Ishmail, what if I don't know what to do to feel the emotions I want to feel? and I'm confused about your theory of the meaning of life?"...

I'm so glad you mentioned that! I know this is not the easiest topic in the world to understand and perhaps I did a rubbish job of explaining it. Either way, fear not because...

I have developed a FREE product called "Live Your DREAM Life"... in it I talk about your purpose in life and the meaning of life in much more detail. I also show you exactly how to find your life's purpose and SO much more... So click here to get it.

Before I go...

I hope you appreciate just how important having a sensible opinion about the meaning of life is. You might think my theory is a load of cods wallop... That's cool...

:-(

No really, it is. Just make sure your meaning of life theory is sensible and preferably based on logic, like mine is ;-)...
