One day a friend asked me

                 “What is the use of living and raising up your children

                   when you know fully well one day we will all die?”

                 “Good question,” I responded.

                 The question itself is highly indicative

                 of  the search for purpose and meaning in life.

                 Man or woman, young or old, rich or poor

                 each and everyone of us is the only person responsible

                 in building up our purpose and meaning in life.

                 Simple as it may seem, its existence in our life journey

                 can  lead us to joy, peace, happiness and contentment, OR

                 to unspeakable pain, suffering and loneliness.

                 Yes, everything that is in existence here on earth

                 has purpose and meaning to fulfill and serve,

                 plants and animals have no choice, but to serve the purpose of its existence.

                 However, man is the only creation here on earth

                 who has been given the power of choice and to make a decision

                 to become what they are capable of being.

                 Dependent on your choice and mission in life

                 determines the quality of your life existence.

                 You can live a life of integrity and dignity, with love and compassion, OR

                 a life full of deceit, arrogance, selfishness and greed.

                 But, in my own life and experience, may I make a suggestion

                 in creating your purpose and meaning in life

                 that will surely make a difference as you thread your life pathways.

                 Make God and His Son Jesus Christ

                 the very core of your thoughts, feelings and actions

                 for in doing so you have chosen a pilot who will never leave you.

                 He will empower you in everything you do and in everywhere you go.

                 You will be amazed how much love, hope and faith you have filled your heart.

                 Thus, the only way you will radiate your life is with

                 CONFIDENCE, GOOD SELF-ESTEEM, PATIENCE, JOY  AND PEACE.

                 Therefore,

                 decide today,

                 what is your purpose and meaning in life.
