Do any of you ever sit around wondering, what is my purpose in life? For some it's a religious purpose, for others it could be to establish/continue a legacy through their children, yet even in others it could be to fulfill a career goal that they've set, or quite possibly a combination of all the above.
I often sit and wonder this a lot. Is my purpose simply to exist? Is my purpose predestined, or in other words are my steps ordered? Is life a path of nodes where upon reaching a node we have to make a choice and that choice sets us blazing down a path until the next decision? I guess no will ever know until the answer is revealed at death.
I'm just curious to wonder if anyone else thinks about this, or do they just live and enjoy life they have it?
I used to think that way but then I just started to make sure I enjoy the life I have. I used to try to achieve material things but then when you achieve it or acquire it you are left thinking what's next. Money, cars, women, and valuables are easier to achieve than you think. I think when I realized that I knew there had to be more to life just didn't know what. I do realize decisions I made in the past had a big impact in my life (i.e. going to Ga Southern over Morehouse). There's just no way to determine whether or not I would have been better off or worse so no need to worry about it. After all the pondering I just thought to enjoy the ride of life and experiences and eventually it will work itself out.
ReplyDeleteI have wondered this myself sometime. Where will I be in 20 years, what will I be doing, will I still even be here? Those questions are in the back of my mind, but until I find out, I enjoy the life I have. I feel I have been blessed to this point and hope to continue to be blessed and enjoy what comes my way.
ReplyDeleteI also sit and ponder this topic as each day goes on. This has been a rather rough year for me for a number of reasons I will not get into. However, I am only 23 years old and I have already been a lot of places and done a lot of things that others can only dream of doing. I will be honest and say that I am far from being happy and content with the direction that my life is going currently, but I have been blessed thus far and I can only keep grinding out and hope that this is only a brief down period and that I will come out stronger than ever.
