The Better Life Success Enrichment Seminar

Life is a journey... And we might make that journey in a straight line from beginning to end, traveling as safely as possible down the road that is right in front of us... No! Getting to the end the easiest way is not the point.

What is the point, you say? What are we here? What is the meaning of life? I don't know! In my youth, maybe like you, I spent a lot of time trying to figure that out. I read the philosophers. Okay, not all of them, they were pretty boring. But I saw there are no certain answers to those questions. I finally came to this conclusion: Whatever human beings are here for, whatever our purpose is, it must have something to do with being human. And if we only strive to be the best human beings that we can be, then whatever comes, we're doing what we should be doing. And we're the happiest when we're being the best that we can be, too. So, our purpose is in our lives and the way we live them.

What's all that got to do with the journey? It's this. There's no growth in doing what's easy, what other people have given you, what's expected. Growth is in doing things that you didn't know you could do, that you have never done, that no one expects you to do.
