Why I started this online journey
Throughout life we can question why or how we got to a certain place in our life. Maybe it's a good place that you are in right now or maybe it's not. No matter where you are in life today is a new day to start again.
One of the reasons I started this blog to show people that there is more than just the stress of living a life that feels devoid of meaning or purpose. This is not how you were meant to live and I understand why life may feel like that because I have been there myself.
What I realized is that we shouldn't place ourselves into a box but rather see ourselves as a unique individual that is a collection of unique experiences and knowledge.
So how can we begin to live a life of purpose? How can we get out of the feeling that life is just a continual hopeless grind?
It starts with:
- Shifting your focus and skills to the needs of others.
- Loving others like God loves us.
- Loving God with all your being.
This is the meaning of life and it's what Jesus taught.
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Matthew 20:37-39
When we put others before ourselves in humility and love we build a foundation where our lives begin to have a lot more meaning and purpose than not. This is where we can begin to find what we are meant to do.
