Life - what does it all mean??? - Life doesn't 'mean' anything. It just goes along whether you get involved or not - it doesn't wait for you to figure it out, holding it's breath until you 'get it', hoping you will finally find the answer, the one true answer. Life has managed to get along without yours or anyone else's understanding since the beginning of time, and it will continue long after you and your kids their kids are gone.

There is no one answer - or at least there is no one singular 'truth' that is sought by those who ask the question. You are not looking for an answer, but a decision to a difficult choice, a motivation to empower you towards change. Every day, every morning, every moment, you are faced with the choice - keep doing what you are doing or make the hard choice to find a new path, away from the comfort you find in your misery, towards the unknown. But, fear keeps you from taking that first step forward...

So, instead of making the decision, you sit there and ask yourself and the universe 'what does it all mean' - dream 'what does the universe hold for me'. You don't really long for understanding, but for freedom from the fear that keeps you from taking a step on that new path, away from where you are, and towards your 'answer' to the question.

That is the root of it - your answer - it is unique to you and only you can find it. The answer is in you, waiting to be discovered, waiting for that moment when the epiphany can reveal itself to you. And when it does, embrace it, take it, devour it - don't question it or analyst it - just accept it, because epiphanies don't need to explain themselves to you, they are you, revealing to you a small part of your authentic self.

Unfortunately, most of wait for a crisis to make these decisions - loss of a job, injury, sickness or death - or someone else makes the decision for you. Someone you depend on has their epiphany before you, or gets tired of waiting for you to have yours. So, they take action, they make a choice that today is just one day longer than they are willing to sit idly by, making the same choices they always do, but expecting different results. And then this happens, and it will happen, you are left there to pick up the pieces and face the consequence of your choices to do nothing.

So, get up this morning, have your coffee, read the paper, watch the morning news, do what you do every morning - but, when you step out of the shower, naked, cold and dripping, and you see yourself in the mirror - bare in both mind and body, to the universe and all – then ask yourself 'what does it all mean' - you may find you already have the answer.

Don't wait for the proverbial bus to hit you - put the fear aside and live the life you want to live.
