Life! What is the meaning of life? A popular question and a fair one to delve on.

My younger days, I often think life has no meaning. War atrocities, Nature calamities, Human injustices … how these cruel circumstances rob away countless lives and debilitate livelihoods.

Older and hopefully wiser, I was told by many, we only have one life to live. Regardless of an optimistic or a bleak outlook, we have one journey to make to the end. Why choose to live sadly?

I was not fully convinced. In need of a more profound answer, I searched further.

By chance, a book on spirituality provided the answer, the meaning of life is to create its meaning. I was bewildered.

On the carousel of time, I come to understand the significance of “to create one's own meaning to life.” Given this new awareness, I begin to appreciate living. And the resonance of T.H.Eker's message flows through the realm of my mindfulness.

I conclude with the question rephrased: “What is your meaning of life?”
