What Is The Meaning Of Life?
By, Caleb Ross
What is the meaning of life? Is it all about having success?
What is success?
I think success is a matter of perception and opinion.
To some people, success can be having all the money in the world, or living in a huge mansion.
To others, success means doing what they love.
No matter what, success can really only be compared with one other word. That word is happiness.
I mean, that is the reason we stress over money, accept better job opportunities and find the perfect partner to start a family with, isn’t it?
Because we believe that if we get those things, we can and will one day be — truly happy.
Let me elaborate…
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass.
It’s about dancing in the rain.
If you learn to take in everything that happens in your life positively and with ease, you’ll learn that being happy really isn’t that hard at all.
Life is not and never will be about proving somebody else wrong.
Instead, it’s about proving yourself right.
Life is not about competing against others.
It’s about competing against yourself.
To make sure you are better than you were yesterday.
To make sure you are growing everyday.
To make sure you are learning new things and experiencing new things.
Life is not about being perfect. It never will be about being perfect.
Life is about being happy.
You won’t be happy all the time.
But be happy every time you can.
You don’t need to be happy about every single thing in your life, but try just being content.
Life isn’t even always going to be about being right.
But rather, being kind.
Being kind will always get you closer to the destination you are trying to reach then proving someone wrong.
Life isn’t about focusing on the negative.
Instead, focus on the positive.
You will find yourself to be a much happier person if you think positively versus thinking negatively.
Life isn’t about money.
This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have money.
Money is a great thing to have, but only when it is used for the most positive intentions.
Life isn’t even about comparing yourself to others.
Let everyone else be them, while you focus on being the best person you can be.
Your life is not defined by the circumstances within it.
It is purely defined by how you choose to react to what happens to you or around you.
Never lose your spirit, because in our greatest challenges, our greatest strengths are formed.
Do not ever forget that you are a miracle.
You are a blessing of life.
Your life is and will be what you make it.
Your purpose in this life is simple.
My wish for you in this life is simple.
To be happy.
To find happiness no matter what life may decide to throw at you.
If you can do that, you will be successful.
As I previously said, and I will say again: success is happiness.
The only thing that will always lead you to be successful:
Happiness.
