Philosophy - The Meaning Of Life

The ultimate question, "What is the meaning of life?" Some people say God and some people say there is no meaning. Well, I believe it is a number of things and is so difficult to explain. But first, here are few things that I think we all should do and follow in life:

Impact
- Make your impact on life. Picture life as a massive sphere of clay which is shaped by everything in the universe. Stamp your mark, your identity, into the mold and make your life known. Turn that boring sphere of clay into a beautiful masterpiece. Change it so that all life in the future will be able to enjoy the impact that you made. Be different, be yourself, stand out from the crowd and show the world who you are.

Interaction
- Interact with all life. Communicate and share so that you can enjoy every bit that life has to offer.

Peace
- I believe most people would agree on the following statements:
* We have all felt pain at least once before and know that most (if not all) life feels similar pain.
* We all agree that pain is an unpleasant feeling and that we would rather not have it.
Thus, we should not purposely inflict pain upon others or ourselves.

Happiness
- Life is full of both terrible and wonderful things. The bright times are amazing and the dark times are horrendous, but teach us lessons so that we can learn to turn the dark into light. So take what knowledge you can from the hard times and enjoy the good times that you find.

The Meaning Of Life
- The meaning of life is to ask that very question, "What is the meaning of life?" It is to be who you want to be. It is to explore, to laugh, to love, to live. It is to overcome the hardships thrown at you. It is to be overwhelmed with excitement. It is to find happiness in the tiniest of things.
But ultimately...
The meaning of life is to learn and to change the universe.
