Meaning

How often do you stop and evaluate your life? Ask questions like, am I still going the right track, following my dreams, being the best I can be, is there meaning to what I am doing? Meaning is what causes you to get up in the morning because you know you have a job to do, there is some sort of purpose you are striving towards.

I guess the big question is how do you evaluate meaning in your life, is it based on how much money you make, how many friends you have, how far in the corporate ladder you've come, type of  the car  you drive?

What happens then when you loose the car, money and everything else you perceive as  meaningful? Does this mean your life doesn't have meaning anymore.

For me, I believe that meaning comes from within, it's who you are despite anything else. It is a sense purpose that is not measured by what I have and don't have. It's who you are, the value in you and this is definately measured by how you relate to the next person. Ever thought about the fact that all businesses in the world in some way or the other, they are meant to make human life comfortable, think about it, it's all human oriented, done by other human beings for other human beings. This leaves us with one conclusion then, that our greatest sense of purpose is found in serving the next person (your neighbour), using the talents, resources and all the skills we have.

Linked to this is love, I can't serve you  with all my heart unless I see you as myself, a human being that deserves honour.

I treat you with honour
because I honour God.


Love the Lord your God with all your heart (Mt 22:37-40)
Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’
