The Answer

Many of us are always asking the same few questions over and over again: "what is my purpose in life?", "what am I worth?", "what can I achieve?" etc etc.

As much as we would like to believe that all man are free, man is a predominantly subservient specie. We all need guidance, answers, a sign from the universe to tell us what to do with our lives. Amongst us there are some who are naturally confident and seem to have life all figured out somehow, some who turn to religion or some sort of believes for answers, and some who are like lost ships floating in the ocean.

I too, was looking for a sign in the universe to tell me what to do with me life - a sign that can undeniably answer all my questions and skepticism. Then I realized: you don't find the answer, you make something the answer. The answer can be your family, your career, or some random things that you love doing. Making that something your answer and believing in it is what that gives purpose and worthiness in your life. For that answer, you will work extended hours to make ends meet, or achieve something tedious to make someone smile - and you will never feel that it is a waste of your efforts.

However, being a skeptic always complicate things. I realized that the reason why I could not find the answer for myself is because I doubt. I question everything which could have been the answer, in the end I denied everything the chance to be the answer. Figuring out the problem is a good beginning, there is only one solution to this problem, which is acceptance. But there are two paths which I can choose to accept: one is to accept and faithfully follow/believe that something is the answer, the other is to accept that nothing can ever satisfy me as the answer and keep drifting in the ocean.
