You create your own meaning to life. It can be as wonderful and meaningful as you want it to be. You are the master of your own destiny.
Life is priceless because it is truly a miracle that we are here.
Richard Dawkins puts it nicely:
“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?”
The odds that we are alive at this moment in time are one in a billion zillion. Think about it, there was only one chance in all of the history of this universe that you would have been able to exist, and there you are, you made it. If for any reason your father and mother, or any of your grandparents, did not meet at exactly the right time, and at exactly the right place, you would not be here. If any of your ancestors, having gone through wars, famines, pestilences, and all kinds of fatal calamities, did not manage to survive, you would not be here.
The odds are astronomically stacked against your existence, but you won the lottery of life, only you do not know that you won and the prize value in the time given to you is kept hidden. You spend from that credit line without knowing the remaining balance.
The meaning and purpose of life is life itself. It is to live it to the fullest, to make the most of it, while you can. So get busy living or get busy dying!
Once you realize how precious life is and how priceless your time is, you would want to make every second count.
