My younger brother asked me a few weeks ago, "What is the meaning of life?" Yeah, I was pretty shocked when he asked me that...seeing as he is only ten years old. XD Well, his question brought up memories of when I was sitting in my neighbor's garage and he ("he" being my neighbor, who's an adult around the age of 45 or so) randomly asked me what I thought the meaning of life was. I took his question seriously and answered what I really thought. The answer I gave him and my younger brother was the same. I feel the meaning of life is to be the best person you can be. Expand upon that as much as you like, but I basically mean that one should always try and better themselves and help others and just try their best to make the most of what life has to offer.
I've been doing my best to live by those morals and can honestly say that I've never been happier. The people in my life right now and the direction my life is currently headed open up such vast doors for me. I see life as a gift - a gift that should never be wasted. While I have my ups and downs, I still make the most of life and try to see the good in things and people around me. I believe that if I live by these ideals, then in the end I will have lived a satisfying life, without regrets.
