What is the meaning of life? Have you ever wondered yourself this question? I guess we all ask ourselves this at least once in our lifetime. Some would  say that the meaning of life is to grow from when we are born, until maturity, then make children of our own and then grow older and one day, die. I think that this described before is just a small part of what life really means.

I consider life as being amazing, especially for us people. Just think about this: we live  on average 70-80 years. This is great! And you know why it's so great? Well, if you don't, just think about the life of hamsters. These little guys live about 1 or 2 years! That means that we live that we live at least 40 times more than an ordinary hamster! 40 times! Amazing! If we only lived our lives the way we should...

Did you know that 1 hamster year equals 25 human years? How about if you had only 2 years to live? Wouldn't this be truly discouraging? But do you see the hamster complaining about this? No way! He's as happy as can be. I think we can learn something from his joy. It doesn't matter how long you spend into this world, the only thing that matters is how you live your life! I hope you choose to live it to it's fullest and maybe this little article will help you do just that.

Like I said, we have about 70-80 years to live, on average. The bad part about this is that we don't really "live" these years. Home-work, work-home and that's kind of all we do, except from some special moments like a holiday or a birthday. But these moments are too rare!

They're just not good enough and you deserve much more than a biscuit now and then. You don't have to wait until something exciting pops-up into your life. Why not make it pop 5 times a day, 7 days a week? What are you waiting for? No one is going to change anything for you! It's your life and only you can choose what to do with it.

Did you ever see a dog complaining that he doesn't have 70 years to live like us? I don't think so. Actually, he's so busy flapping his tale, glad to see you, that he wouldn't even have time to complain even if he wanted to. Why should he worry about how long he lives? He and all of us, will die someday, but until then why not make the best of the time spent on earth? Why not make your life a monument of joy, so that when your friends or even a stranger see you , they will say they've never seen someone more happy (or crazy it's the same thing)! Why not jump out of bed every morning and take in the fresh air? Why not do something that you always wanted to do, but always seemed to postpone for another time and place?

Well, you don't have to do that anymore! You can choose to do it right this instant, here and now! I'm pretty sorry to tell you this, but unfortunately, 146 000 people are going to die today! Yes, 146 000 people die each day! Yes that many! What if tomorrow or even today, you would become one of those people? I know this sound awful, but this will happen some day to all of us. So why the heck do you postpone your life? Why not do that crazy thing today instead of another time, now while you still can! Later, you might just want to, but you won't be able to do it anymore.

How about if you start right now? Make a list of 50-100 "crazy" things that you would like to do in the next 3-12 months ahead. You can write whatever you want on this list. Crazy means a lot of things to a lot of people. Maybe you've always wanted to visit the Grand Canyon or go skiing in the Alps. Maybe you just wanted to see a plane taking off in an airport! It could be anything! It's your list! It's your dreams or "crazy" things! It's your wonderful life!

After you write the list, take each "crazy" thing and expand it a little. If it's something that needs preparation, write down the steps you need to complete it and set a deadline for each step. The deadline must be realistic. I mean, it must be no longer and no shorter than it needs to be. Don't make it so short that you know you won't be able to do it and then make this an excuse to fail and don't make it longer than it needs to be either.

Please try to be honest and brave about this. Maybe this is scary for you. Maybe you never did this before. Maybe you never thought life could be more than a boring repetition. But, life is amazing, it's more than you and I could possibly dream of! It's much, much more beautiful than our most wildest dreams! I mean it can be if we choose it to be like that! And who wouldn't, right? Well, it's not that easy at it seems. Life is waiting for you, it was waiting all the time, but you have to come out of your shell and enjoy it's sparkling beauty!

Life should be our greatest friend, not our enemy! But in order to make life your friend, you have to take the first step. After that, your life will be so great that you will ask me to pinch you so that you are sure you're not dreaming (don't worry, I will pinch you if you need this )
Maybe you are skeptical and thinking life is not that great as I'm saying. You might be right. Life may have been hard and cruel on you. You may had an awful accident, or maybe you've lost someone dear or had to work all your life so that you would survive.

I'm sorry if you had to go through such experiences and in a way I understand you. I didn't go through what you did, but I'm here for you if you need help. We are in this together. I know life can be pretty hard sometimes and that's exactly why you have to do something about this. You have to prove yourself and others that your existence on this earth means a lot. The great news is that you definitely are capable of changing your life from wherever it is now to something that will give you an indescribable joy! I'm 100% certain that you can do it! And you are not alone. You will never be alone. Just today, you've made a new friend, me.

So start making the list now, set some deadlines fo your crazy things and do something right now. Doing so will give you the confidence you need to go on. Tomorrow, you'll do an even crazier thing than today and so on. Just live your life! Don't hide away in the corner! So many people are waiting for you to come out and play! One of them is writing this short article .

Give your life a new meaning and don't lose time thinking when you are going to die. That day will come, but for the moment, you can change the present and really live it. And the present is a gift. Don't keep the gift locked up in it's box. Tear out those ribbons and open your gift! Enjoy it with all your heart and keep searching for the meaning of life! Your life!

How do you know when you have found the meaning of your life? Read the following quote and when you will be able to do that you will have found it.

"When we are born into this world, everyone laughs while we are crying. Be sure, that by your actions, when the time for you to go will come, you will be the one laughing, while everyone else will be crying."  - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I embrace you,
Razvan
