“Life is not primarily
a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a quest for power, as Alfred Adler
taught,
but a quest for meaning. The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her own life.”
but a quest for meaning. The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her own life.”
One
of the major concepts of living with joy is to always keep your sense of "wonder"
while carry on with life, because life in itself is truly an extraordinary
miracle.
For instance, the birth of a child is the "normal" way of coming
alive, and yet, what a marvel!
On
the other hand, each year, spring always comes after winter and yet it always
fills our hearts with rustle and emotions.
Also,
snowdrops are the ones that cope with the harshness of the cold weather, but yet
they remain soft, graceful, pretty, "courageous" and amazingly inspiring every year.
Aside
of that, the sun sets every day, but each time it gives us a different splendid
spectacle.
Only mentioning these few aspects of our daily lives, we all could agree that our
world is a place full of beauty and miracles, and if we truly open our hearts
to them, we could appreciate them even more.
And
yes, life needs meaning to be lived with joy! Meaning comes from fulfilling
your purpose in life, and every single human being has its own purpose…one just
needs to pursue it….
The advice of the elders of the world is to live our lives with joy, to be
good, to help our fellows and we all will live well…and I can’t agree more with
that!

Never cease to stand like curious children before the Great Mystery into which we were born.” (Albert Einstein)
