When we go through life we should get the most out of that experience. No mater what your after life beliefs may be this is only the opportunity you will have to live this life.
Many religions, and new age thought , say that we are on a wheel of lives where what we do in this life will determine what we become, or carry, into the next life. Judeo-Christian, Islamic, and other religious traditions teaches that our actions in this life will determine where we spend eternity. But for the sake of this discussion it maters not.
Even those who do not believe there is any thing but a void after life must understand the blessing that this life is for us. Finding the best and most varied experiences in this life means that we are making the most of a unique opportunity, this one life.
If we are going to make the most of this life we need to use all of our abilities to the fullest. Sir Walter Scott is quoted as saying,“A sound head, an honest heart, and an humble spirit are the three best guides through time and to eternity” These “tools” are really quite important, in my opinion, for living a life of purpose.
A good head to understand, the world around, an honest heart to guide you on the path you should travel, and a humble spirit that lets you learn from even the lowest experience. We can perfect these we can truly live.
