Why was I born?
What's the meaning of my life?
Why am I me?

When we are kids, we often think about these things. But as life comes faster and harder, we tend to put these questions aside in order to deal with the important matters of life. Who has time for such navel gazing?

Then one day, tragedy strikes or we look in the mirror and see our grandfather staring back at us and we wonder, "What did I live for? Where did my life go? What good did I do?"

Let's not wait until it's too late to change our fate. Let today be the day we resume asking the questions worth asking. If we are already asking them, then let's ask louder.

Why was I born?
What's the meaning of my life?
Why am I me?

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16

There is a peak experience of life we are all seeking, a state of flow where all things just make sense and feel right. We reach this state by thinking about others first and creating an opening for the endless Light - the source of all good - to enter.

But when we think only of ourselves, we put a stop to this flow.

Today, make a list – a written list – of five people whom you care about. Put it in your pocket, tape it to your computer, tack it to the fridge – keep it close. Every time you find yourself obsessing about yourself, look at the list, and think about one of those people. Send them energy, meaning, picture them surrounded by Light, receiving the health and wisdom they deserve. Consider this your connection to the endless Light.
