Life is our only true measurement of existence. Some of us look at life as the great rat race. At times, life appears to a confusing maze that we must solve.

Why are here on earth? Many will argue that we were born to serve God. To me, that answer is not sufficient. Life has to more complex than that supposed revelation. We could have inhabited another planet such as Mars or Jupiter! So, we must look to a define our own purpose in life. It can involve a religious life, one of leisure, or a journey in philosophy.

I often compare life to a unknown journey. It is our job to solve many riddles and leave the world in a better place. We must discover how our feelings and emotions makes us whole as individuals. Our past can help shape our lives, but we must be resilient to avoid depression and worry caused by certain events. Positive thinking often leads to discovery of new ideas and solutions to global, local, or inner personal conflict.

Why is life hard to understand? There are many societal pressures that we must overcome. Often, society attempts to define roles for men and women and the young and old. We also have relationships with one another. Some relationships are strictly platonic, however others develop into romantic love. Our interactions with one another can be rewarding and confusing at the same time. We wonder why our paths have brought us together! Life does not usually gives us all of the answers. The emotions we feel can get in the way of using our best judgment. Yet it is our job to weave through the mess and bring action to all of life's chaos.

Life is a complex experience The time we spend here is a measurement of time few will ever understand. Life is often taken for granted, because we are not aware of any other existence before our birth. Learn to cherish one another, and be a friend to those who need help that come into your life. Life is a purpose driven experience and I must follow my own advice.
