What are we living for? Like do you ever wonder …

“what’s the point of all this”?

Ugh, Life! What is the purpose of ones life? The roller coaster of good seasons and bad seasons. Its so overwhelming sometimes!

You know, we go through our journey and each of us walk down a different path. We each experience missed opportunities, and opportunities that open doors to blessings! Life is filled with little experiences, the cultures were introduced to, the food we eat, the family that raises us, and the impact they have on us as we get older. But still we ask “what’s the point”? I mean we don’t get to choose our paths or do we?

I have lived the past 7 years trying to ignore everything I’ve ever been taught and allow strangers from all walks of life to share their experiences and journey with me and I’ve listened with the intent to learn something new. Or atleast to see life through someone else’s eyes. And can I just say. It’s fascinating how different we all truly are!

But what’s the point of the journey? Is it all about reaching our goals? Is it the job? the money? The car? The house? The family? What should we focus on? Is it in our hustle & grind or our accomplishments?

What do you think?

And even if and when we have accomplished all “the things”, what is there left to do next? Are we supposed to just keep chasing the next thing? Fill the voids of being alone with our wins? Or share them with loved ones who come and go in and out of our life? To just constantly chase people, things, places, love, or for just a little attention and a small taste of pleasure? Like what’s the point of this life anyway?!? The chase? The human experience? What’s it for?

And if we’re all on a different hunan experience, why do we fight, and have so much division in our world today? Will humans ever be able to live in harmony with one another, helping, teaching, loving, and sharing our experiences? Will we find a way to help one another with love, compassion, and respect rather than with a desire for power and wrath?

These were the questions I asked myself this past weekend as I layed in a hospital bed scared to hear the test results of the CT SCAN. After being rushed to the emergency room from a “squeezing chest pain”. My life flashed before my eyes! “I’m 45, I eat healthy, exercise, pray, do all the things, so why me? The worry didn’t end there! My next worry was obviously…”What will happen to my daughter’s if I’m gone”?

All the questions that come rushing up when we haven’t planned for the upcoming, unpredictable events that come crashing into our life like a tornado!

Eventually, my daughter’s would get over the loss. But this experience would definitely impact them for the rest of their life. What will they do with that impact? Will they spend their time trying to fix what the doctors couldn’t? Would they numb it with drugs, alcohol and other recreational activities or substances? Well, thank God we don’t have to find out, (not yet anyway) because I’m not finished with my work here.

I was released and sent home with medications! Which I’m not fond of. Since I prefer a more organic and holistic approach to healing. But here I am!

Guess, what I’m trying to say is, life will happen, no matter what road you choose or hand you get delt. So, don’t kill yourself over a few bad choices, or for not choosing a different route.

I no longer feel that life is just about the journey, I believe it’s what you decide to do ‘WITH-IN’ the journey that matters most.

“Dont loss hope, embrace the journey your on, and always listen to the little lessons and blessings life offers you!.”
