Finding the true meaning of your life?

This writing is only meaningful if you believe that God exist.

Q: Who am I living for?
A: I'm living for God.

Q: How should I live the life for God?
A: Love thy neighbors. This means to love people around me, including but not limited to my family. This part is hard and has never been easy, but it is not impossible. One thing that I've been keeping in mind is that all of us are the children of God, so we are actually brothers and sisters. So treat others like member of the family.

Life is actually quite simple, if we are able to see through all the complex illusions.

Here are the key thinking that could help us see through the complexity of such illusions:
1. Life is temporary; there is a fix amount of time given to each and everyone. We MUST die one day. So we HAVE TO be really WISE in using our time, remember: the amount of time given is FINITE.

2. Basically what we are really looking for is happiness. Money seems to be the only key. But the truth is we need money ONLY to survive (i.e to have just enough food and shelter). To be happy, money is not needed. Look at the people and things (animals, flowers, green grass, buildings, etc.) around you, appreciate and enjoy their goodness and you will be able to find happiness there.

3. If there is one thing in this world that we can ask from God, we should ask for a GRACE EXIT (i.e. to die in peace and without any physical suffering). That is the greatest bless. Many of us are working for monies and saving hard just because we are afraid of the sickness in old days.
So pray to Him for such "EXIT" and put in conscious efforts to achieve it (that is to take good care of your health by eating correctly and exercise enough). The key here is really to BALANCE what you need to save for your sickness LATER and what you need to contribute to help others NOW(while you are healthy and young).

You should live your MEANINGFUL life NOW and NOT for the future.
