Some of us get to the stage in life where we need to find out what it is that we’re on this planet for, or what the purpose or meaning of our life is. I have been heading towards that point for a couple of years, and I think it has now hit me: I need to really find out what it is that gives me joy. What is it that makes me leap up each morning and love the day? What is it that will keep me going when times are tough or uncertain, and my path may not seem too clear?
I have been reading the book Man’s Search for Meaning
“It is spiritual freedom – which cannot be taken away – that makes life meaningful and purposeful”
and
He who knows the “why” for his existence, will be able to bear almost any “how”
What amazed me were the stories of how people survived the most horrendous experiences – because they had something to live for… even if that “something” was only in their mind! It’s proof, if proof is indeed needed, of the power of positive thoughts in our lives.
No matter what may happen or fail to happen, life is what you choose to make it. Choose again and again, in every situation, to make it great.

It touched my heart.
I ask myself these questions everyday and sometimes I feel depressed and hopeless.
I decided to find out the answer to start the life I want according to the map I draw and untill that day comes, i’ll continue asking myself the same questions everyday.
Thank you
