III.

So until I figure all of this out, I guess my best option is to just try my best to experience this world I’m living in, and of course, its many different people. I believe the best way to learn about yourself is to immerse yourself into the different cultures that exist on this planet. There is so much to do and see, so if you’re not sure what your calling is, a good way to start searching for it is to just get out there. Live it up. Find what you enjoy doing, what makes you happy. Search for and discover satisfaction. You have to find what’s right for you and be who you are—who you want to be—who you were born to be. Whoever that may be. You won’t get any answers by just sitting around and doing nothing. This is your time, make it count. You have to take full responsibility for your life; who else should? Find your calling however you can, surround yourself with whatever makes you tick, and escape the things that bring you down and prevent you from making the best of what you’ve got to work with. You’ve got to find out where you fit, where you belong in an ever-diversifying society. You have to find your scene—as it is often referred to. What can you contribute that will be beneficial, if not inspirational, to others that are like you? If you’re unsure of your purpose—the meaning of your life—then do what you can do to help others find theirs, and maybe you’ll get lucky and figure it out along the way. As I have discovered, one of the best ways to solve your own problems is to help others with theirs. Or, perhaps you will discover that helping others is your purpose. That you were put here with others besides yourself in mind, which in many ways is perhaps one of the highest callings. Also, it may be one of the most rewarding, which is to say that someone who spends his life helping others may be much happier than someone who is extremely successful, but has never done anything with anyone else in mind. The pay for charity, although numerically very low, may in fact be much higher in the grand scheme of things. This, however, is only one path that can be followed, and it is definitely not right for everybody. But the only way to know for sure, that is, to figure you why you’re really here, is to get out there, to experience this world, and just see what happens. If all works out, you’ll probably get to the point where you just know, you just understand the reason for your existence.

Peace,
