Many people don't know why they are alive, nor do they give it much thought. Yet, a life without meaning is unbearable regardless of what we've come to accept. This is why so many people die within a few short years of retirement. It's why unemployed feel overwhelmingly depressed and worthless. It's also why some wealthy and famous individuals are desperately unhappy.

To enrich your life and find meaning, realize that life itself is nothing more than a series of events that occur over time. True meaning comes once you are able to effectively handle all of events that are involved in your life and turn those events into positive enhancements to your daily life. It means nothing without our involvement, in one way or another.

Life is not problem. Life is never problem. It is way we manage our involvement in life that either gives us problems or creates a fulfilling and meaningful life. This sounds overwhelming, but only way to live a full life and achieve everything that you desire is to take control of your life.

In this state of surrender, a person is in touch with their divine essence. Having pure intentions, they are harmless. They are interested only in higher service.

On other hand, some people who develop access to their higher powers, use their higher powers for selfish, negative and harmful intentions. (Darth Vader types.) Your intuition may be trusted to inform you, to warn you of people with negative and evil designs. These people are to be resolutely avoided.

3. Bulldog Tenacity:

When we unite practice of meditation with surrender to our divine essence, we are likely to be empathetic, loving, and harmless.

And if we are to advance ourselves in relative world, temporal world, ordinary world of people, places, and events, a third quality is required.

This quality is bulldog tenacity. Do you know nature of a bulldog? A bulldog is tenacious in defending its master and master’s property. Their teeth lock onto presumed invader. Their grip is an iron grip. That iron grip prevails even in death.

This means that when your intentions are noble and worthy, when outcome of your intentions somehow contributes to making this a better world, you are to never, never, never give up.

You are to “pay any price, bear any burden” to bring your intentions into objective reality. This is way to justify space you take up and resources you consume while you draw breath.

This is way you make a positive difference in lives you touch.

This is way you make yourself a role model for others. And, most important of all, this is way you leave a lasting legacy.
