Luckily, it is a journey that never ends as well! I believe it gives a sense of purpose and meaning for existence; and it is precisely that purpose that is necessary for life to even come into being. The trick is discovering that purpose for yourself. The journey truly is what keeps people happy, motivated and alive. Luckily, it is a journey that never ends as well!

You are here now for the next eight hours for every day for next five days. And then you start over again, but you do not complain because this is life and you will spend the most of your life doing this unless you win the lottery or become a millionaire. Until the day you are 75 you will work and you will earn a living and just maybe you can retire peacefully. You then spend maybe 10 years enjoying what the last 55 have given you, a small house with a nice garden. Then one dies and life is over. If you believe in god then maybe there is something after this, if not then one has to confront the sobering thought that your existence is now meaningless and what follows is merely a full stop. Life continues but your’s does not, you are not the first and you are not the last, one perhaps feel’s that the very purpose of life then is...well what exactly? Those last ten years? This perhaps a very dim, aybe dark view on life but I tell you now that it is not a dark as the eternal blackness that follows after one’s final look at the world around. Then maybe one’s thoughts should not be focussed on working for those last 10 years as they ultimately are meaningless as they only delay what is inevitable it seems. Maybe we should all think of how to make life a bit bearable for the next. Working 9-5 will do nothing but use up the precious time you have left to make that difference in this world, albeit very small. It’s Monday morning and the time is nine am, one is at work and busy.

You make some great points that most people do not fully understand. "The books you read on personal development, the blogs you read, the people you listen to in the hope of finding the answers all help on your way to discovering yourself. Having said this you will not find it in any one book, or any one blog or any one person, it is a cumulative effect. Know this as the truth, you cannot find the answers in one book however it does not stop us looking for that book that will tell us everything." I like how you explained that. Very helpful. Thanks.

I am so happy that you have found a purpose again and ultimately helping others in the process. I honestly don't know how brave I would be under the same circumstances so your courage is extremely admirable. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment, I think your comments will stay with me throughout the day. Regards Steve Hi Meltem

It fits perfectly my situation right now. I lost my 13 yrs old daughter last summer (July 2007). My life has changed forever. I always question things in my life and developed my own beliefs. With the loss of my daughter all of a sudden I found myself so naked. All my beliefs were gone. Nothing in life made sense anymore. I could not find a meaning in anything anymore. My husband still asks every morning “why am I living today”. I still travel between reality and my own fantasy world where my daughter is still alive. Reality hurts so much and I want to hide into my own world. Besides all these emotional struggles I know I must live, at least long enough to care for my younger daughter. …I can go on this for pages long but I guess I need to come to the point… I am building a business that will run as a charitable business. I have created this mission for myself to survive in this world, create a meaning… I am dedicating my life to seek for answers for childhood cancer (causation to be specific). Some people are morally supportive, some people said “doctors cannot tell, how can you…”, some people looked at me “ah, ok, good one” and so on. I am aware that I may not be able to find anything concrete in my life time but if I can find a clue or a lead that can be further investigated by the clinical researchers that will be a great success for me. In the worst case, I will leave a system with all the knowledge for the future generations to take forward. I made all the business plans already. Coming to the answer to everything: My mission is the journey for me. It is exciting because finally I can use all my professional skills for a good cause and this makes me happy (bitter happiness to be true). Thanks Hi Steven,

To come to a realisation about life you first have to understand yourself before you can become part of the whole, so I see where you are coming from, but your point is not wholly correct, in my opinion. If you are living in the UK, it is you who have spelled realiSe incorrectly. The American spelling of realiSe is realize, the sooner you realise this the better it will be for your English and your blogging etiquette. Thanks you for your comments, they are much appreciated.

The journey of life, however, is not all about the past.(as your post expresses, though hidden) The journey is instead in the present and towards the future. The answer to the "meaning of life" is not inside you, instead the meaning encompasses you. For you are a part of a whole. The sooner you realiZe(you spelled realiZe wrong in your post)this, the better you will be for humanity. Your Welcome Cole Bryant hi steven
