The meaning of life

If you are not happy don't toil in self-pity and complain, do something to change the situation. Don't make excuses for not changing a particular aspect of your life for fear of what might happen.

Our lives are far too short to spend it worthlessly trying to impress others when the one person we should always strive to impress is ourself.

As I sit here I think of all of my friends who have married themselves away to others at the age of 22 or 23, accepted their fate as an office jockey, and planted themselves a quarter million dollar seed in the suburbs.

Now this is all fine if they were in love with the life they live, but many are not and I am subjected to listen to their complaints. To that I say: Sack up!

Your 20's ought to be spent living for yourself, because until you live for yourself and make yourself happy you can never make another person happy. But if you start your life unfulfilled and not entirely happy with yourself, it is unfair to both you and those around you.

For all those who are Stuck, look at what you want or wanted out of life when you were younger and less jaded and actually take the steps to make that happen.

The path may be difficult and humbling but if you make it through and find yourself happy you have just found the meaning to life.
