Currently reading "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom.
I believe a lot of you have read this book. It is always not too late to get to know a real good book I can say.
It is a story about the old lecturer who is facing his death positively with the young student who is going through his life trying to fulfil all the materialistic dreams and goals. They went through 14 classes on every Tuesday. The classes were not typical lesson but classes about life, love, money, culture, fear and anything got to do with ourselves and our lives.
The old man, Morrie had gone through such a meaningful and unique life in his way! Not bothering what others say, just doing what he thinks and feels is right to do.
I remember something he said, "When you have found the meaning in life, you are no longer bother about whether you have money, lots of properties; only those who have not found the meaning, will keep running towards the Goals, Dreams, Material Satisfaction throughout their lives." I believe this is true, a lot of us, we struggling throughout our lives trying to become richer, famous, and trying to gain more happiness. However, is this really what we want in life? Is being super rich help us find meaning in life? Is having big cars, big houses and being on top of everyone help us find meaning in life? I doubt so as this is very much into individual's perspective. One can be very happy and satisfy being a cleaner but one can never feel the happiness or sense of purpose although he is the top performer in the company.
Nevertheless, the meaning in our lives are pretty much depending on what we want at the end of the day. Some looking for money, some for happiness, some for love, some for health, some for stable career, some for popularity and some do not know what they want throughout their lives.
Yes! Indeed, I am still searching for my meaning in life. Not only me, but I believe a lot of you are still hunting and wandering around looking for the real meaning in your life.
It does not matter what you are looking for!
It does not matter what you want to be for the next five, ten, twenty or thirty years!
It does not matter where you want to search for the meaning in your very own life!
It does not matter who you want to be with in the process of searching for meaning in life!
What it really matters is whether you have a purpose, a direction, a right path and right mindset in finding for the meaning!
Morrie's life lessons has gave me a lot of insights.
Meaning in life is decided, planned, worked through and fulfilled by ourselves. Not Others!
Maybe I cannot and I am still searching for the meaning of my life tomorrow, next months, one year later or even longer. However, with the faith and belief, with the love and passion, I will realise what I want in my life. So as you, you and you!
"Never too late to search for the meaning in your life as long you never give up half way in the process"
This is a good book. I have a copy too.
