The Meaning of Life

The meaning of life constitutes a philosophical question concerning the purpose or significance of life in general.  Many people may ask Why are we here? or What exactly is this all about? The idea of why we are here and the meaning of life has been the subject of much religious, philosophical, and ideological debate throughout history.  So what is the meaning of life?  To put it simply, there is no real definitive answer.  Where would the fun be in that?  To find the meaning of life, you must first give your life meaning.

So where do we start?  Well lets start with the definition of life:  the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic organisms and dead organisms; animation; liveliness; spirit.  Or in short, the definition of life is to live.  Give your life a purpose, do something with it.  Do more than the same routine everyday, make something of your life.  It doesn’t have to be a big something, just something.  Life is made up of small moments with friends and family, make the most of them, and cherish every one.  Do more than simply exist, make the most of every moment, don’t let any of them pass you by.

As the musician Greg Anderson put it:

When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing — then we truly live life.

Hello World

Hello World! This is my first blog post ever. I’ve recently been delving into the world of freelance writing. It’s been quite the experience for me. I’ve always had a gift for writing, and I love to do it. I find that with freelance jobs, many have strict guidelines on what the client wants written and they want certain topics, many of which I would normally not write about. Also much of the work I’ve been doing has been technical informative writing, like cover letters and product reviews, whereas my real passion is for creative writing. Currently I am pursuing my passion by writing my first fantasy novel while doing the freelance writing gigs on the side.

This blog will be a place for me to come and write whatever happens to be on my mind. My mind happens to be extremely imaginative and sometimes scary even for me. So join me as I blog and delve into the mind of Sensei Jim.
