219. actions are the answer
At one point or another we’ve all asked someone, “what’s the meaning of life?” Our ask is genuine, but also a bit presumptuous as it’s not anyone else’s responsibility to tell us. And because we are all on our own path, no answer other than our own can truly serve us. Instead, imagine the world turning it around and directing that question toward us, and our answer can only materialize through our actions. In every situation, life is asking us a question, and our actions are the answer.
160. meaning
With any meaningful contemplation, we always find our way back to the timeless question: what is the meaning of life? We ask because we want a direction to follow, a beaten path to wander down where we can feel a sense of purpose, but the funny thing is no path that is already worn can provide us what we are after. It is no one else’s responsibility to figure it out for you. It is in the effort, the work, and the toil that we are able to uncover a life of meaning. We cannot be shown, instead we must discover. It is our action in every situation that answers the question. The meaning of life is the intent of our action.
