What is the meaning of LIFE?

What IS the meaning of LIFE? And so it comes again, "The meaning of LIFE, is to give LIFE meaning."  ~Ken Hudgins

Doing what you LOVE, brings LIFE to YOU and the ones you give it to. 

A friend said yesterday, in a seemingly way it was a question, which I tucked INto my MIND and processed last night. I couldn't answer it at that time, because I had no answers to why her friend was killed. There are no answers for anyone to know on that question, except the person that did it, and the person that died. In my MIND, her friend sacrificed herself so the person who did it, could realize something.

Sacrifice happens for US to look INside ourselves for OUR meaning of life.  To do that which makes LOVE to ourselves. It's a decision made DIVINELY by ONE ENERGY source to another. Agreed upon at some point. Death is sacrifice. It's a sacrifice made to have an impact on others, but it's never the way it was intended. When someone dies, we don't look INside of ourselves to find that which we are seeking. We LOOK OUTside of ourselves, to fill ourselves UP with answers, or stuff that fills our holes, because death reMINDs us of our own mortality and that we are NOT living, just going through the motions.

Before we find ourselves we are like Swiss cheese. We buy things because we are materialistic, filling ourselves with fine goods, and money, as if those illusions would fill the holes which seem bottomless to us. Of course, at that time, we don't see the holes, and we don't know we are trying to fill them. We do know we feel empty inside, and when we feel that way we buy things, because we have been lied to. We've been told buying things will help us feel better. We've been told, chocolate, makes us feel better. We've been told, rich foods, and sugary foods, and fattening foods, make us feel better. We've been told, our favorite things, will make us feel better. We've been told, alcohol and drugs will make us feel better. We've been told, a man or woman, will make us feel better. We've been told, if we do this, then we will feel better. Those are all lies. We always know though, when we are doing them, that we shouldn't, because we know BETTER.

The only thing that will make us feel better, is to work our hurt. Work our sadness and anger from our bodies. If you aren't ready to find yourself, you don't need to. The time to find yourself will come, when it comes. But working your hurt, is necessary, so you don't continue to fill your bottomless pits. Nothing can fill those pits. You will always be miserable if you cannot face looking inside yourself. You must forgive yourself of EVERYTHING YOU EVER DID TO ANOTHER. You must forgive yourself of everything you ever did to yourself. Say it out loud for yourself to hear. You will feel shame and guilt, and that shame and guilt will make you uncomfortable.

You must FACE YOUR FEARS, in order to move though the discomfort. Being uncomfortable is a moment for you to grow. Don't back away from it. Say it out loud so you can hear what you did to others and yourself, so you can feel the emotion. Forgiving yourself is the greatest thing to help you get past your shame and guilt, then you must test yourself, and become vulnerable to others, and pronounce those things that made you hurt yourself, because you will then be ridding yourself of that hurt, which is your sadness and anger.

The meaning of LIFE is to LIVE IT! In doing what your purpose is. You find your purpose if you don't know, by finding yourself and in order to do that, you must face your fears. The meaning of life is to live it, doing what you LOVE. What you love is your purpose. Nothing will ever fill you up, if you can't face what you've done, and cleanse yourself of your hurt. You will continue to fill your hurt holes. Fill yourself instead with the LOVE OF SELF, and knowing it.

*They* put roadblocks in our lives to make us think we need to look outside of ourselves to find happiness.  Some cultures celebrate the death of the person because of the person they were,  not to  focus on their death but what they brought to our lives.  That's the meaning of life, to find the LOVE in the moments we spent with them.  Not dwell on their death or why they died or how they were so young,  or had so much to live for; there's a reason they died, and it's not for you to know or understand.  It's for you to LIVE, LOVE and do what your purpose in LIFE IS.
