What Does Life Mean to You?

It's me again family, your cousin DJ Lex the Flex (iykyk).

So, today we're going to talk about life. Now the tagline for this blog is life, love, learn because these are the three main topics that I want to first write about and second share with you all. At the age we're in now, being 20-something and not really knowing where the trajectory of life may take us, it's easy to feel like living is meaningless. I saw a friend of mine make a post a while back basically saying that you were born to just work all your life, pay bills, and die. Has anyone felt like this before? While that's a sad outlook to have on life, it's even sadder that this will be the reality for a lot of people. It will be that way just because they THINK it will be that way.

I often think about life and what it means to me. When I'm talking to someone new, one of my favorite questions to ask it, "What does your perfect life look like?" It's interesting to me what people value the most and what a perfect life would be to them. I'd like to think it tells you quite a lot about a person. Some people answer to be rich or wealthy. Others say they want to be happy with their future spouse raising a family. I always answer that I want peace and stability, something I didn't have a lot of when I was young. In all honesty, it wouldn't be too outrageous to want all those things and I think with the right tools you can have them.

That's what we're here to talk about today: living the life that you want and that is meaningful to you. Giving your life purpose can tremendously increase your quality of it. If you feel like a worker bee, working all your life just to die, then I'm sorry to tell you that's what you will become. But if you think about your life as a necessary part of the universe, created to cultivate light and change, then congratulations you have that too. I've said this in previous post and I'll probably say it in future posts as well, but life is all about perspective. How you view life and the events within it, will manifest into how it will be. This offers endless opportunity for positivity and growth because your mind is something you can control.

What you think is what you say and what you say is what will become.

The phrase above is something I try to live by because it is so powerful. Your mind and body are spiritual beings and have connections to the universe that you could not even begin to imagine. Me realizing that has helped me not only manifest postivity and peace into my life, but be able to make it through adversity and hardships. This life is really what you make it, so don't allow society or your own insecurities limit you.

After you read this, take some time to think about what life means to you and what you want your life to look like. Write it down and go forth like it has already happened, then watch how powerful you become. Give your life purpose: create, give back, have fun. Do what you want to do that makes you happy. Find what inspires you and your passions. Live in your truth, always. Being young, it can be hard, there are some things out of your control. But take control of those things that you can and put life in its place! You are an invaluable part of the universe and it's time you start acting like it. 

Remember: wherever life plants you, bloom in grace.
