What is Life About?

What is this life about?

This is perhaps the hardest question to answer. Each one of us is faced with a different situation and therefore the answer might seem different initially. For some this life is all about earning more money, others might view health and happiness as their purpose in life, still others might view fame and recognition as what their life is all about.

On a deeper level, don't we all seek the same thing? Once you attain the above, what will you seek then? What will your life be about once you accomplish these things?

I believe that deep down we simply seek to:
  • have a wonderful family life
  • have atleast one or two really good friends
  • engage in a work/job which gives us satisfaction as well as income
  • be able to earn substantially to live a comfortable 'money worry free' life
  • have someone to love and share our life with
  • have a child who will carry on our family name and legacy
  • have a house we can call 'Home'
  • be known as a good human being
  • have good health
  • be able to get up in the morning with a smile
  • lead a life to our best capabilities
  • smile and be truly happy in life
Ultimately isn't this what life is all about? To be at peace with oneself and the world around us? To enjoy and be happy with the life we have been given?

If you have something else that you think life is all about, please post. I would love to hear about it. Lets lead enriching and happy lives.
