We all go through hard times in life. It’s a part of being human and it’s the reality we all have to deal with.

We must take joy every day in celebrating our blessings, so it’s something we can carry in our hearts during our life’s journey.”

“The Myth of Sisyphus makes us wonder if we too are like the ones who are so distracted making friends with important people, staying on top of the latest technology, getting good marks in school, and making lots of money, that we never pause to think:

What are we actually living for?

Sisyphus ended up opening his heart to questions of meaning, value and purpose. He himself decided it was best to just make the most of his short time on earth, however meaningless it all may be. Through Sisyphus, Camus is telling us that life is a joke, and the courageous ones will accept that and have a laugh along the way. I know many movies released these days that operate under the same premise.”

― Jon Morrison, Clear Minds & Dirty Feet: A Reason to Hope, a Message to Share

Let’s live a life of purpose and meaning. Let’s travel, love, laugh, dance, be crazy and never let an opportunity slip out of our hands. Let’s explore the beautiful world we live in. Let’s fall love and if our heart gets broken, let’s never lose faith in love. Let’s make others happy because that will in turn make us happy. Let’s dance in the rain, sing aloud even if we are the worst singers. Let’s binge watch our favorite tv show and eat buckets of chocolate ice cream. Let’s read all the books that ever existed and fall in love with each and every fictional character. Let’s live a thousand lives through those books. Let’s laugh until our stomachs hurt. Let’s do what we love and love what we do because we don’t have enough time to waste on things we have zero interest in. Let’s make every single moment count.

Let’s give this life a purpose and inspire others to do the same.
