The Meaning of Life

The meaning

By Christina Yan Published 20 days ago 2 min read

What is the meaning of life? Is something we make every day or is a conscious choice that leads us to our final destination? The path we choose is ours in the making. We are uniquely made. We are different yet alike. We choose our passions based on who we are and live our lives the way we envision it to be. Reality and expectation are in constant conflict. The only remedy lies in our minds. We cannot touch or see nor can we understand what we do not know. We know because we experience, we see because we feel, we understand what's true based on the truth. When oceans rise and troubles linger, the only thing we hold onto is ourselves. Hope is fragile and youth is a memory of the past. We are genuine when we do not pretend. When we take off our masks, we reveal who we truly are. Seeing life through a lens is like seeing life through a mirror. We are rising up, but it's hard to see when all the flames are around us. What will we do when we cannot stand? We can see light when everything is all rosy, but when it everything falls, we learn to depend on something greater. What we aim for is what we want. Living for something greater is the true meaning of life. Everything rises and falls, and gives us temporary happiness, but what lies and what prevails is our soul. Seasons change and times change, so do feelings and interests, but growth truly occurs when we learn to accept reality and live in the moment. There are many things we cannot change, the only thing we can change is our thinking. I have words, but words have no meaning without action. I think it's true that love prevails over everything. Over the course of my life, I have searched and walked many paths but one path leads me to a greater purpose. If I have words but do not speak, my words are nothing but a echoing sound. Our lives are meant to live our highest calling. We fear what we do not understand, we fear because we determine, but the truth is we are not. We are greater, we are powerful, we are not the persons of the past. We are the present and the future. Victory lies in our hearts, our hands, and our souls. We stand the test of time to stand the time of the future. Our lives are just beginning, the end is a goal to look forward to. What is the purpose? Are we called to follow or are we called to something worthwhile? I see the worth, the stars shining, this is the time. It's the perfect magic to our thoughts and the time is thought of time. We dream and we believe, our thoughts become possibilities, and in the end, realities if we choose the road that leads to life and our lives are in the end ours to make.
