What is the meaning of life... What is your purpose?
This struck me more so recently then before as a friend of mine was speaking about how life is short and you need to put it into perspective, not to scare or be negative but to plan accordingly.

I started to wonder what was the point of just maintaining my life. I would think what’s the point of getting a job that has no true meaning to myself or the world, working it most days of my life, doing something that is so meaningless, just to collect money, paper, doesn’t add up to me.
What is the point of just maintaining my life and a few other peoples lives. We are all so insignificant in this world, it would not make any difference if we were here, if we are just maintaining. Actually we are doing more harm than good. All we are doing is consuming the earth, giving it an expiry date, by being like our society, being dependent on things we do not need to be.

Life is about exploring and moving on to your next path. There is no answer in life, you just continue to learn and grow. That is why they have the expression, it’s not about the destination but the journey and that is why whenever you reach a milestone or achievement, you want to move onto the next.
You are never satisfied because it’s in you to keep moving and growing as a person. You need to have your vibrations/energy in full force to be alive because once they are gone, is when you die. The world has to keep learning and growing, if we continue to populate the earth more, we have to figure out what we have to do to continue to live on this earth. One day there could be far more people than water or food. Obviously we have to still understand a lot of things and as the world changes, our intelligence will have to evolve with human beings and earth.

The earth can survive and grow beautifully without man or woman on this planet. The best thing one can do is pass down information to the next generation to be able to grow intellectually quicker and evolve into smarter human beings. We must pass down the information to bring clarity to others. We have all the tools to create the intelligence we need to maintain a beautiful earth but right now our selfishness is destroying it. This is something we need to figure out, how to stay on this planet, while making it grow beautifully forever while living in harmony together.
On that note, one last important aspect we can all do to create a great life for all.
Bring peace to yourself and this will bring peace to everyone around you. This passes down from person to person and is one of the greatest things you can do for everyone.

Now it got me thinking one more time"what is the actual purpose of my life?"
I mean I've been through this phase when I was near to death and thankfully I am alive. It was definitely renewing all of my perspective towards life.
A new clearer perspective is so stimulating. Glad you made it here @macchiata
people are born, people die, in between it what you make of your life that is important
