Rethinking the Purpose, Meaning and Secret of Life

Admittedly, I am a simpleton. This time I might have gone too far. I have discovered the secret, meaning and purpose of life. It's all the same, and it's been right in front of me the entire time.

Our purpose in life is what we make it.

The meaning of our life is what we make it.

The secret to our life is that it is it what we make it.

Absolutely everything in our life is what we make it.

Our triumphs and tragedies. Our successes and failures. Everything in life has as much or as little meaning as we want to give it. If you believe you are a random accident aimlessly floating through space on a giant rock, then that is your choice. If you need more motivation to get out of bed every day, then name your own motivation.

Here's the real contradiction: We're a nation of independent, self made cowboys. We want to do our own thing, blaze our own trails. But when it comes to answering these questions of meaning and purpose, we want someone else to answer it for us. We think some expert knows us better than we know ourselves.  

We have our own answers. We know what we want to be. We know what we are here to do. We know what we want to do and how we want to do it. 

We need to have courage in our convictions. 

Our life is what we make it.
