A lot of people sit around asking themselves the most difficult questions… “Does God exist?”, “Why am I here”, “How is the market going to react if X happens”, “What is the purpose of life”, etc. etc. etc.
The fact exists that we have no idea what lies ahead of us after “death”. So, we have to make the most of what we are given and make our entire life as enjoyable as possible. Notice, I didn’t say, “make each day as enjoyable as possible” because some days you may have to sacrafice to make the next day enjoyable. Sometimes we aren’t dealt the best hand but we have to play our cards so we can see our next hand.
Start asking yourself the easy questions: “Is this going to make my life more enjoyable”, “Will it make me more money than it will cost me (remember: time is money)”, and “At the end of each day will I be glad that I’m doing this?”
It’s true, we must attempt to create happiness in each moment, not seek happiness elsewhere. We also must not life get in the way of life – we must not sacrifice tomorrow for today.
But if you want to get a little closer to understanding what happens when you die, or what the purpose is, the dominant social feeling is that it is a question of belief or faith. This isn’t true – we are something, and we are not seperated from it, not after death, not before life, and we have access to it all the time. It’s just understanding how to see it and knowing how to interpret what you find when you do.
