The Purpose of Life


I’ve been asking myself the same question for so many times nowadays: What is the purpose of life?

Someone said is to enjoy and have fun, live your life meaningful and happiness. One of my friends said, the purpose of life is “To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded”.

Most of the people in this city work hard for money and play hard to spend their money. To me, money is something but definitely it is not everything. Friends admire me that I can work three jobs at the same time. Yes. I earn money. And I feel happy and excited when I get salary by the end of every month. But… I begin to doubt that is this the life that I really want? I've been hurt numerous times in a relationship, things have not gone really well or right for me. Much obstacles and roadblocks that have presented itself and sometimes I'm just so lost. I always sacrifice myself just to please the others. I live because of the others. And now, I think it’s time to love myself more. =)

Life is the personal experience of being you, yourself. The only way to find out the purpose of life is to live it. Life is for living. Without the downs, we wouldn’t appreciate the highs. I feel that I’m lucky, for the past 24 years, there’re a lot of interesting stories had happened in my life. No matter it is happiness or sadness, it makes me grow up a lot and I learn to appreciate my life.

I start worrying about myself as I’m on my half way go to the age of 25, some people might think that it’s still considering young. To me, I had spent a quarter of century in this world. Start from now onwards, I tell myself, I will love myself more and more and more… to do whatever I want to do by following my heart… live my life meaningfully and happily… I want to live my life with no regrets before I die… life is short, and I will enjoy every single minute of it!!!
