The Purpose of Life

I find myself reading this quote over and over, as it is loaded with meaning.  The purpose of life….To love life…..without fear…..to experience life and to feel fresh, inspired and to try new things.  Many people that I meet do not experience life with such awe.  There is pain, suffering, disappointments and fear.  How do we look at life, almost childlike?  To be excited again over the smallest of things.  To become explorers and experience life with our senses.  To learn to love ourselves with our whole hearts and share this love with our family and friends.

How to love our life?  How do we love ourselves?  How do we live without regrets?  It makes me think of a toddler learning to walk.  We encourage, we smile and cheer.  We know they will fall down. But we try and try until they let go of our hands and step; they are falling forward.  And the child walks; and we cheer.  I believe the inner voice in our head needs to be that encourager.  Our cheerleader even when we know we will fall or fail sometimes.  We say in our head that we can do it and with some more practice we can.
