i truly, 100% believe that the meaning of life is happiness - to be happy - & to love and be loved - & to live a positive life with a positive mind set.
no matter what you're going through or struggling with in your life, waking up every day feeling happy with positive thoughts and love in your heart is the ultimate goal. it will completely change your life around if you have those things a part of your every day life and as your top priorities.
that is the bigger picture. the framework for the house. the foundation. after that will follow you spending more time with family and friends, enjoying every day tasks just because you have the opportunity to do them, being a hard working person and going full force towards what you truly want to do in life, etc.
whether you're growing in high school, finding yourself in college, or in the middle of your life and feel like you're stuck in a lifestyle you cant get out of - you can do this. anyone can start this second and change their life around.
i believe you must love yourself before you can love others. but having a genuinely caring heart and soul is so extremely important in this crazy world we all live in. we are truly meant to love and be loved. whether its a spouse, family, friends, animals, a hobby, it does not matter. love others first, love yourself, and allow others to love you. it seems as though the magic of love is lost for a lot of individuals & if you can dig deep into your heart and soul, and see that love is the best thing in life, it will lead to so much more happiness.
all it takes is a promise to yourself and a switch in your mind, to start living a positive lifestyle. we're all humans, we all have bad days, negatives, sins, bad thoughts, struggles with life and our inner selves, etc. this does not mean all of those will go away. living a positive life with positive thoughts means taking a step back and truly understanding.. seeing.. others' views, other lifestyles, how people react, how i react to things, how i am as a person. am i being 100% the person that i want to be and the best person i can be? a positive lifestyle is about taking all those negative thoughts/actions/struggles and remembering to simply think positive during them. see the positive in a situation. be the positive in a situation. everyone has their own personal purpose to their life, and living the lifestyle is to never, ever forget that purpose.
"being happy" has to be one of the hardest things we struggle with. there is no switch to turn your moods on and off. but think a little deeper about that. your life is YOUR LIFE! you choose what you do with it, whether you believe that or not. you work at a 9-5 desk job and staple papers most of your day? enjoy that! some people don't even own a stapler. you're a stay at home mom with your 4 wild kids and wish you had a job because you struggle to make ends meet? enjoy every single crazy day with every single crazy kid no matter what the situation is. you have an amazing job that pays well but feel your life is dull or missing something? work on yourself and your inner happiness and the rest will follow. being happy is a choice! there's a book called "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle and basically what i tried to show above, is enjoy and be happy about the moment you're living in and what you're doing right now, no matter the circumstances. there are people who have nothing yet are so happy and joyful with their life because they choose to just - "be happy".
having a positive mind, love in your heart, and being happy - they all tie together and intertwine. if you have one, it will lead to the other two - if you let it. they are the deeper meaning of life, the easy meaning of life that can be brought to the surface, the meaning that most people don't realize is right there.
being young, living in a crazy world, in my jumbled mind and thoughts, i decided to think all of this through. it took me a few years to even comprehend all of this. and even to this day i'm still working on it and don't 100% understand all of this. but it was a huge lifestyle change and it truly changed me as a person. i hope others read this and feel inspired or interested & curious to understand this too and think about their life. because its your life and your lifestyle and your choice to make the most out of it.
