Meaning of Life

What is the meaning of life? Everyone surely asks themselves this question at some point in time but is there real answer to it? The meaning of life varies often between the people who would be curious as to what his/her purpose of living is. A common answer to the question is "The meaning of life is the achievement of success." I have problems with this answer. The answer is extremely vague and poses more questions. These questions are led by the definition of success and what is it? Some could say success could be defined as the acquisition of monetary or materialistic goods. Some might say that success could be having a family and many friends. Others might say success might be defined as the work one has done to improve others lives as much as they have helped themselves. I don't believe that success is the meaning of life. I also think that there is a meaning of life for you naysayers out there who are deniers of a meaning of life. I think that the meaning of life is to do the following: ENJOY IT! Life is a time span from birth to death. If people could live forever life would lose its purpose. However, due to the fact that people die after short periods of time we need to celebrate the time we are alive. Don't worry, be happy and Carpe Diem. Have you ever wished you had done something but then thought of the possible risks involved and backed off, and then later regret a decision made without gusto? Emiliano Zapata once said, "It's better to die upon your feet than to live upon your knees!" Emiliano hit the nail on the head. If you have work or the opportunity to fulfill a life's goal, which would you choose? I'd go straight for the life goal. The opportunity may never present itself again, so jump on it and live your life to the fullest. Live life with no regrets, have fun, do what you like and like what you do, because the clock is ticking and sooner or later your time will come and you don't want to look back at your life and say "What if?"
