• “Life. Death. They are both the same. To live is to die as to die is to live. All but dust in the wind.” A good quote but what does it mean? That’s the thing. No one knows what life is about. Only the one who is living it. Life is something no one man can place a meaning or a price on. Although it may be tough at times, although it may seem like death is just around the corner, you can’t let those things come between you and the meaning of life. The meaning of life can only be described by the one who has been given life. Only they know the meaning of life. Which, in terms, is all of us. We all have a different meaning for life. All man kind were put here for a reason. No one man is born without a reason to be born. Everyone has a purpose to be in one’s life. It may not seem like you have a reason to be in someone’s life, but there is a reason for everything. Life is all about making choices, taking risks, and living life to its fullest. Never once doubt yourself of something you think you can’t do. Always put your best foot forward and never give up. Things in life may set you back, people may hate you, things may happen, but you can’t let that stop you from living your life. You may run into people you hate, don’t get along with, don’t want to be around, but you can’t let that stop you. If something happened between you and someone, you can’t let that change your life. Don’t shut people out because you feel it’s the right thing to do. You can’t run from your fears. Although your fears might be scary, you have to push through them and over come your fears. It may be hard, but it can be done. The one thing that people don’t know. “You have nothing to fear but fear itself. Fear is more afraid of you than you are of it.” So just because something happened, doesn’t mean that you should go and push people away. Remember the old saying, “Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.” That’s what you need to do. Keep everyone close even if you don’t like them. They were put into your life for a reason and that reason might not come out until you least expect it. Most people believe they have no reason to live, though we all do. Everyone was born with a reason to live. Just like everyone was put into someone’s life for a reason. You can’t let little things hold you back from finding out those reasons. You need to learn to over come obstacles that you encounter rather than running away and hiding until they pass. In a lot of situations, things like that require that you push through it rather than running and hiding. Same thing goes for relationships. Something may happen and it’s over but you can’t let that little something keep you from talking to that person for the rest of your life. They were put into your life for a reason and that reason will only be shown when you take the time and look for it. Not everything will be easy to find at first. You have to look for it. Sometimes it may seem pointless and endless to look, but you have to try. Just like the old saying goes, “If you love something let it go. If it loves you back, it will return and it’s yours to keep forever.” Do just that. Let things in your life go, but when it tries to come back, let it. That means it was your’s to keep forever. So as life goes on, as time chances things, as lives come and go, as things in your life happen, and as people come and go in and out of your life, remember. Everything has a reason to be there and everything was put there for a reason. Don’t shun someone away because you think they don’t have a reason to be in your life because if they didn’t, they would have never came into your life to begin with. So remember that next time you may think someone or something is worthless and useless to your life because it isn’t. It does have use and reason. You just have to find it. So as this ends, I bid you a good day and good luck in finding meaning with the meaning of life and the things in it. Enjoy life while you have it.
