My class had been called outside to play a game of tag football and in order to get the ball (after it’d been dropped or passed off to a teacher) you had to answer a question, but if you’d gotten tagged or the question wrong you had to stop playing until the next question.

I had been tagged (I’m not a fast runner), and I was just sitting still, thinking and looking at nothing when two birds flew around me. The birds got extremly close too, one of the students on my team even stopped and stared as the birds flew three times around me extremly close and then arched off into the air. I’d been close enough that I could touch them if I had wanted. After that the day just seemed so much brighter.

Another time was when I was driving. It was early of the morning and I was on my way to school, I glance in my side view mirror as I climbed a hill and saw the rising sun over the top of the trees. The glaring orange and firece red in the sky just made my heart swell, its just little things like that, that can make life seem so much better.

There is nothing that God needs, because God is everything there is.

This is the good news. Everything else is an illusion.

Purpose Of Life

Some of us live lives where we constantly are taking from others, leeching off the very essence of the good that flows from the hearts of those who give freely to those around them, while some live their lives in constant need; the need to have….the need to give…the need to feel needed…Some of our lives are mere extensions of other peoples dreams and aspirations, be it our will or not.

Many of us struggle and clamor about to find what our purpose is in life. Many try to define themselves in ways that best suit their current understanding of what purpose is…Be it to give freely to all those that come into our lives, Or to be the takers of the world, be it to be those that swindle and steal…the fact is, our purpose, or our so called reason for being is purely a reflection of our current mental state and is directly related to how we have been molded by our upbringing and environment.

Our purpose is what we make it to be. We choose our own reason for being, we define our own existence. Our actions, life experience and views of what we call life, all play into our own man made equation of purpose….each event adding its own variable in the formula that is set to give us the answer to what we constantly strive for. Ironically, no two answers will be the same due to the fact that no two people share the same mindset, beliefs or upbringing. We all have our own idea and interpretation of what our purpose should be. So remember, that each day we live, each breath we take is giving yield to the answer we seek….

Which is to live, just live. This is the purpose of our existence…to live our lives, experience what it has to give and go onto the next pane of existence when our time on this place is over.

With love,
