What Is Life?

Who Knows?

Selfie by me! What is your life perspective?

What is this life all about? Who really knows?

Because I still sure have not figured it out. Not that I need to necessarily. But what is the point? If we do not have a creative outlet or two, I feel we are all doomed. Is this true?

Because if it is, I would be dead I am sure. Not having a way to express my magic, creativity and play would be an absolute nightmare to me. And also, not seeing those I love consistently.

Life has a funny, peculiar way of showing us exactly what we have asked for. Even if we truly did not mean to ask for it. It teaches us always. And through example. As in, hands on examples. Through each of our own experiences, we learn, grow, discover and become overall better. Better people to ourself and one another. And we then share! We share all we create in love. Even if we make, or made a few mistakes in life, ultimately, our love always shine's through.

Now, I don't know about you. And you don't know about me. All we know is how we feel when reading each other. Lol... your reading me right now. So fun and funny to think about. However, that is truly not the point of this story. What is the point?

Exactly.

What is the point of writing about life and what's it's all about?

Well to answer that question, we would first need to ask why we ask these kind of questions in the first place. Life is about what exactly? Love? Truth?Freedom? Adventure? Discovery? Contentment? Creativity? Growth? Evolution? Into what? Fun? All of the above? It is a mystery, except that we are all reflections of the great mystery and one another. And through our own life experiences, we make life. And why are we so curious about what other's feel and experience here on Earth? Why should we care about sharing our own life experiences and perspectives? Why is this ultimately important for each of us. How does my story or perspective improve or benefit your life? And vice versa?

Well, I believe it is because it is important for our brains to be stimulated in all sorts of good growing ways. It is also important to share our wisdom with one another. Our true life love stories of inspiration, hopes and dreams. Because it is only when we ourselves experience something, that we seek affirmation or connection to others who have experienced the same sort of things. Camaraderie I suppose. We enjoy talking, listening and sharing our stories. Learning from those we love and know. The good, bad and ugly. Human stories are fun to know. And could also save us from making horrible mistakes, or finding the courage to follow our dreams. Leading us toward more, new experiences that we feel called or excited to embark on!

And how else would we know about life, if not from each other. My kids sort of inspired this story, because they often ask me questions, that one can only answer from their own personal life experiences. And we all experience so much of the same, and yet so different as well. And because we are all experiencing differing lives, we each hold wisdom and knowings in differing areas, or topics. What does life mean to you? Probably everything that has ever happened to you and for you. Family, friends, good memories shared with one another. No matter what you found yourself doing. Even being alone in your own time, allows one to ponder and experience new perspectives.

What is life?

From my perspective, it is you and me. It is the everything we experience from all of our choices, collectively and individually. There is no one right or wrong answer. Only experiences shared openly and freely for all those who may want to know for themselves, what something or someone is all about. And we can all do this together with those whom we love, or alone. Life is a journey as far as I can see. And yes, we hear this all the time. Yet, it stands the test of time. It is always there to remind us. To empower us to continue no matter what, with what truly inspires us to grow, learn and discover.

For what is life without learning? Play? Freedom? To dance and sing, create, draw, travel, enjoy each others company. All we can do alone, cannot be done with another. Alone time is great and all, but who really likes or wants to be alone all of the time? No one!

So what if life?

It is you and me. Together. As one big or small, happy family. Even if it is just one other person in our life, we are family. Life is all about family. And everything that happens to us, our families know about. Even if they don't tell us. Which they should. However, I will save that story or two, for another day. Because the truth always catches up to us. In one way, shape form or another. And one person in our family may be questioning life, and what it is truly all about. What can you tell them about life when they ask you your perspective? What is this life all about really?

Everyone has their own perspective. However, I feel we can all agree, that without Love and family that truly love us for who we are inside, we suffer. We have nothing without our family. Someone who love's us and cares about us to no end. No end.

Life never ends. It only grows. Stronger, wiser, more courageous everyday. Bravery is not for the weak of heart. However, as long as you have family that believe in you, support you, the courage you need will be there. And any obstacle or challenge that we may face, will be faced and overcome with only the courage and bravery in your heart. Full of love. Love is the strength that allows us to grow. No matter what. Even if it is just one other person. And without that love and support, we may feel all alone. We may feel we do not have the strength to pursue our dreams or face challenges of growth. But, rest assured, that we are never alone. Because someone out there, feels just the way you do. And knowing that can make the whole difference between night and day. Knowing that someone out there loves and cares the way you do, will give us the strength we need to keep going.

What is life?

It is what YOU make it.

It is what YOU decide it to be.

It is YOUR journey.

Finding your own ways to create and share are key I have found. Connecting us into our own Hearts path and dream. And with that, we always do attract those who feel the same on some level, can relate, and reassure our own insecurities. Can cheer us on. Can remind us that we are worthy and valuable beyond measure. We are all human. So we obviously do experience the same human emotions and feelings. Especially if we all allow each other to be our true authentic selves, without judgement.

Because from my own personal family experiences, judgments can be deadly. As in, don't judge another, unless you too want to be judged. And why would we judge each other within our own families? Pretty harsh. However, this does happen. And when it does, hopefully it doesn't hurt us to the point of giving up entirely. Hopefully we can remember that we are never alone. Life has a very intelligent way of aligning you to and toward complete support, inspiration and affirmation of who you really are. Even if your own family members at times, forget.

What is life?

Love. Family. Experiences of all that we desire and long to discover. If we should just embrace our own personal journeys. Our own personal hearts dreams, inspirations and love.

I truly hope you enjoyed this read. And if you did, thank you for being you! It takes one to know one! Lol... Your great! Really, really great and amazing. Don't ever forget it! Okay?!

Live. Love. You. Me.

We make our own destinies come true. Our own journeys unfold according to our choice to take action toward that which makes us truly feel happy, authentic and loved.

To our futures filled with everything we could only possibly want to experience, enjoy and know.

Thank you for being a great human. Like me! We got the whole world in our sights, and our fingertips too! Lol...

Thank you once again for reading. I appreciate you. And you also help me answer a very important question. What is life?

Now it's your turn.
