This is the often asked question for many who experience hardship in life. Perhaps at no time, we do raise such question as we sense how brief our life span really is. but of course, we do not need to be going through a life threatening crisis to ask why we are here. Disillusionment can trigger the question as well. and some may ask it as they reflect on their life pattern.
A succesful trip through life?
Life is often compared to a journey. Just as you may begin a trip with no final destination in mind, you could live your life without identifying its real purpose. If you do so, you risk getting caught up in what well-known writer Stephen R.Covey calls "the busy-ness of life." He wrote about those who "find themselves achieving victories or success that are empty, successes that have come at the expense of things they suddenly realize were far more valuable to them."
Would you not agree that increasing our speed on a trip is pointless if we are not heading in the right directions?
Nice Post. Need to think about it.
