the mystery of life

Have you ever sat down and just tried to figure out the purpose of your life? A few years ago I would constantly ruminate on this subject and for some reason always ended up crying. I did not understand why we all have to go through such exciting and such horrifying situations in life when it is all going to be gone whtn we least expect it. My family, my friends, my experiences...Everything I have learned and achieved in life, it will eventually disappear with my death. However, one day I realized it does not necessarily have to leave with your soul. We are all here to make a difference, in the world or just in someone's life, but we are all here for a reason. Enjoy life. Laugh. Cry. Smile. Learn. Help others. Help yourself. Live your life to the fullest...that is what we are here for.
