Remember that I had told Michael that I didn’t understand the point of it all. I didn’t know why I was alive. That’s the big question, isn’t it? Here’s what I came up with.
What is the Purpose of Life?
You are here on earth to connect with others and contribute to the world. But before you can connect and contribute, you must first practice self-care. In other words, you must thrive. Thrive. Connect. Contribute. In that order.
You connect with family, friends, and your community. You also connect with nature, with yourself, and with your higher power. We are wired to connect.
What you contribute or how you contribute is up to you. I love this line from Walt Whitman. “That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.”
But to connect to others and to make a contribution, you must first practice self-care. You can’t pour from an empty vessel.
I think this is brilliant! It speaks volumes of just how I’m feeling…I’m trying to motivate myself to blog myself. Can’t seem to snap out of it though.
Wonderful!!
