I believe People like Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer have "filled in the blank" of life's meaning, and I have too...but of course, just because I have filled in the meaning of my life, that doesn't really help you all that much...right?
The true meaning of life seems to perplex and elude most people that I come into contact with in my day to day life.
So, how can I help you fill in your true meaning of life question? I don't know.
But, I am willing to give her a shot by letting you know about some experiences I went through to arrive and my current true meaning of life answers.
The one thing that gives my life meaning is me...or my life. I give meaning to my life.
Neale Donald Walsch, author of the "Conversations with God" books said in the "The Secret" something like...
..it's as if people think that there is something that everyone is supposed to do on earth. (paraphrased)
He used the idea that there is a blackboard in heaven and God writes on it...
"Here lies Jeff Smith. He was a pretty cool dude that laughed a lot and hugged people. May he rest in peace."
That would be good enough for me...but you see I get to fill in the blank with what I do with my life.
His point is that most people spend all their lives trying to find the blackboard...and there is no blackboard...and if there was...you could write on it anything you WANT!
I don't believe there is any MUST do destiny items that I need to accomplish on earth in order to find the meaning of life. Instead, it is more a realization that I am already complete, whole and perfect just as I AM.
I watched a movie about Ram Dass called "Fierce Grace" and I learned about a book that Ram Dass wrote called "Being Here". The general message of the book was: Love People, Serve People, Feed People and Remember God.
I really liked that. Sort of a very easy to remember mission statement for my life. I have done all four in one day on several occasions and it is quite fun. It can be a little exhausting if you do all four really often...but still well worth the effort.
I know that sounds really simple and easy...but heh that's what I got. But don't worry...I started the story at the end, so you will remember where we are going when we come back to the beginning.
So if you want to write your own meaning of life statement here is a list of bullets---everybody digs bullets!
