Meaning of life

The meaning of life constitutes a philosophical question concerning the purpose and significance of human existence. The concept can be expressed through a variety of related questions, such as Why are we here?, What's life all about? and What is the meaning of it all?. It has been the subject of much philosophical, scientific, and theological speculation throughout history and there have been a large number of answers from many different cultural and ideological backgrounds.

The meaning of life is deeply mixed with the philosophical and religious conceptions of existence, consciousness, and happiness, and touches on many other issues, such as symbolic meaning, ontology, value, purpose, ethics, good and evil, free will, conceptions of God, the existence of God, the soul and the afterlife. Scientific contributions are more indirect; by describing the empirical facts about the universe, science provides some context and sets parameters for conversations on related topics. An alternative, human-centric, and not a cosmic/religious approach is the question "What is the meaning of my life?" The value of the question pertaining to the purpose of life may be considered to be coincidal with the achievement of ultimate reality, if that is believed by one to exist.

--------------------------------------------------------

1. Never think or speak negatively about yourself; that puts you in disagreement with God.

2. Meditate on your God-given strengths and learn to encourage yourself, for much of the time nobody else will.

3. Don't compare yourself to anybody else. You're unique, one of a kind, an original. So don't settle for being a copy.

4. Focus on your potential, not your limitations. Remember, God lives in you!

5. Find what you like to do, do well, and strive to do it with excellence.

6. Have the courage to be different. Be a God pleaser, not a people pleaser.

7. Learn to handle criticism. Let it develop you instead of discourage you.

8. Determine your own worth instead of letting others do it for you. They'll short-change you!

9. Keep your shortcomings in perspective - you're still a work in progress....

10. Focus daily on your greatest source of confidence - the God Who lives in you
