I realize many people feel they must accomplish things with their life and I also feel that religion can fall into the same category of there being more out there and searching for a higher purpose.
I've always felt in the minority in that I don't need to have a meaning for my existence nor do I really have any preset goals of things I want to do before I die. Probably the main ones I've ever had were getting married and having kids. Since I've done those now I just live day to day just being grateful that I am here to be with my family.
I've always been fascinated by people who have their lives planned and know exactly what they want from it and wondered why I wasn't the same. My father always told me that I was unmotivated and lazy because I had no desire to be anything, as I am getting older I am realizing that I am blessed because of it.
Meaning of life has always been simple to me. Do what makes you happy and you'll have a fulfilled life. |
