Give Your Life a Meaning
“I have always believed and I still believe, that whatever
good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and
transform it into something of value.” Hermann Hesse
Ascribing a meaning to our lives is a task that we ought to accomplish
at the individual level. It is an internal dialogue that is totally unique to
each one of us based on our divergent backgrounds, life experiences and people
we have around us. It is a voice that we must obey and follow even though it is
likely to lead us to temporarily unpleasant places.
Whether we confess it or not, we are creating and recreating
our lives by each passing second and we are doing this either consciously or
unconsciously, building a future that we will be forced to live in.
Life should be a thorough but progressive continuation of
self-reinvention and actualization, taking cognizance of our past to examining
where we are at this point and using whatever outcomes in predicting and anticipating
the future. The future, a place we are at this very moment.
The voice of meaning is a powerful force. It is a giant we
will all have to confront at some point in our lives. A decision that will
elevate us into higher beings with a
rod to exercise an influence that will cut across all generations. A decision to do exactly what we were brought
here to do. A decision to be made not by mere intelligence or leave to
happenstance but mindful daily resolution, inviting God into our thoughts and
obeying Him wholly.
