The age-old, cliche of a question: "What is the meaning of life?"
I ask this question, because I like to take on a personal challenge. So many think they know what the answer is "to help others" "to make money" "to serve your family" "to be happy and live in the light of God" and I can't help but think, which of these could possibly be correct?
Then It came to me. The meaning of life is to give your life meaning. Again, a simple cliche. But relevant nonetheless.
I really don't think I'll know the meaning of my life until it's over. I suppose it will be God who will tell me of all the people I've touched and the people I've hurt, even if I never meant to do so. Over the last 2 years, I've learned a lot about myself. I thought I was driven bymoney. That was my meaning: to grow rich and be admired. But I'm neither of those and have really come to realize I don't WANT any of those. I want to be that guy who was significant in your life but was not the center of your life (unless you are my wife and family). There are people out there who deserve and need to be at the center.
All I want to be is remembered.
