The Meaning Of Life
I feel that there are many meanings to the word life. The first meaning to the word life is to make the best of the short time your here. Don't waste your time having a bad attitude. How are you supposed to enjoy your life if your never take the time to appreciate it. Because one day you will look back and wish you could get back all that time you spent having a bad attitude. Which brings me to my second meaning of life.
Have no regrets. You can't change the past. So why waste your time wishing you had done something differently. Lifes to short for that. Sometimes you have to let go of the mistakes you made in the past. Because nobodys perfect. You should focus on the future and what you can do right instead of what you did wrong. And sometimes the regrets you have now turn out not to be so bad after all. Sometimes you just don't realize it until later in life.
Treating others as you want to be treated is the third meaning of life in my eyes. I am a firm believer in what goes around comes around. Those who treat others badly end up having no one in the end. And who wants to live thier golden years alone? Those who treat others badly pay the ultimate price later in life when they get treated badly. Sometimes they are treated far worse and have to suffer a pain worse than they ever inficted on anyone.
The fourth meaning to life is take some time to apreciate the natural beauty of things. Weather it be sitting on the highest mountain around for miles and looking down or just a simple ride through the country. Don't ever let the natural beauty escape you. Because sometimes the natural beauty is what makes you realize how beautiful you are.
The fifth meaning of life is to keep the ones you love closest to you. Don't miss a single moment they need or want you. And you will see that they will treat you the same. Don't take your time with them for granted because you never know when their time might be up. And you will wish you had a chance to say goodbye.
The sixth and final meaning of life is to live a good life filled with love and happiness. Obey the laws of god, man, love, and life. Because in the end the life you lived can either make your next life better or it can make it worse. Just remember that there is a consequence to your actions.
When you bring all the meanings of life together you get something bigger than just life. You get what determines what will happen to you in your next life.
