PURPOSE : WHY ARE YOU HERE?





Here’s a question for you: Why are you here? I mean, Why are you living? Have you ever contemplated that?“What’s the reason I’m here, living this life? What do I want out of this life? What do I want to do? What do I want to experience?Why?”We’re all so busy with the everyday work –we live a fast-paced life with endless to-do lists and obligations. And with our phones and the internet, there’s an abundance of distractions that the noise never stops. The only time we get a break is if we make time to rest. And a lot of us miss even that. So what’s the point? Why are we doing so much? To get some perspective, let’s consider this: At the end of your life, how would you want to look back at your life? How would you want to feel? The truth is…You probably wouldn’t be thinking: “I should have been more productive. Or I should have worked more.”You probably could care less about whether you were good enough or doing enough. More likely … You’d be appreciating all the small moments where you truly felt alive and wishing you could have had more of those. There’s a popular article on the top 5 regrets of the dying. Australian nurse Bronnie Ware spent several years caring for patients during the last 12 weeks of their lives, and would ask them if they had any regrets or anything they would do differently. 

These were the top 5 regrets of the dying:
  1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
  2. I wish I hadn’t worked so much.
  3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings
  4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends
  5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.


With this in mind, take some time to remember why you’re here.Don’t forget the things that truly matter. Live your life the way you want to, for yourself & not others.Live life to the fullest.Experience all that you can experience.Find your zest for life.Your passion.Your adventure.Your light.Have the courage to FEEL with all your heart –the sadness and the joy.Feel everything.That is your GIFT as a human being.Spend time with the ones you love.Tell them you love them.Laugh with them.Learn from them.Have fun!Experience all the joys that life has to offer. Let yourself be truly happy in this current moment. Appreciate all the things you have to be grateful for. Do what makes you come alive. 


You are the most beautiful when you are fully ALIVE, beaming and excited for lifeThink of those moments when life is fun and worth living. Be intentional about creating more of those moments, as often as possible. Infuse them into your everyday. That is why you’re here. To come alive, to feel alive, to live a life worth living. So tell me, do you remember now?-Rock on!
