Life

What is the meaning of life? I think it's safe to say no one has an exact answer for this. But, we all still ponder over this question nonetheless. Knowing that life has a meaning for each of us, a purpose causes me to wonder about certain things. For example.....those certain songs or movies that create extreme emotion from an unknown place. Why is there such a connection when they don't necessarily pertain to your life or anything you've experienced?

We are all here for a purpose, right? I'll answer myself, "Yes, that's right." I am currently searching for my purpose. No, I'm waiting for my purpose to be shown to me. I know many different avenues have been placed before me, but I have to wonder.....how many of these avenues must I travel on, only to find out, this isn't the path?

I'm not the best with patience and I do like instant gratification. Perhaps that's my lesson here. To learn patience and know that, just because it's not instant, doesn't mean there won't be gratification. I notice myself surrounded now by many that have found their paths. I envy them for knowing who they are and what they are to do in this lifetime. I understand my answers will come. I just need to keep my requests and gratitudes going on a steady basis.

Wow! Did it just hit me?? I paused from typing to take a bite of soup and?........
This whole time I've been feeling as though I should be in school, studying something. Yet, I'm not, so I shamefully admit that I spend a lot of time on the internet (FB, Pogo, etc.). Yet, I look around me and I have multiple books that I haven't even touched yet! The classroom is sitting right here in front of my face!!! If I was in school, I would spend less time on the internet, because I would be studying or doing homework. DUH! Spend less time on the internet NOW, because I have plenty to learn at my fingertips as I speak!

And one reason for starting this blog has just surfaced.

  1. Ahhhhhhhhhh yes. "Patience." That was one of my big lessons too. I say "was" because I really have come a long way. So I am on the other side of it to tell you, "It CAN happen." And I was bad. I used to say, "I have the patience of a flea." That is SO far from the truth now.

    YES! All those unread books! Me too! But you are one step ahead of me there. Mine are NOT screaming out at me loud enough yet...
