We all ask that one inevitably the one question in our journey on planet earth,...."What is our purpose? and therefore what is the overall meaning of life?" "Why are we here?"..... Lets dive deeper into that topic, shall we?

Meaning of life itself...
Is life just a game where we make up the rules
While we're searching for something to say
Or are we just simply spiralling coils
Of self-replicating DNA ?how about having a meaningful purpose
Your life purpose consists of the central motivating aims of your life—the reasons you get up in the morning. Purpose can guide life decisions, influence behavior, shape goals, offer a sense of direction, and create meaning. For some people, purpose is connected to vocation—meaningful, satisfying work. For others it is the connection to their partner, friends or family. Whatever it may is for you , If you feel burnt out by your job or relationships, uninterested in socializing or generally lost, you may need to look at some guidance.
Taking the time to reflect and define your life purpose can help motivate you. Not to mention, it can clarify everything from your relationships to your career path.
Defining your entire life purpose, finding that strength to do it might sound intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. We’re here to show you the importance of discovering a sense of purpose and even more importantly giving you the wisdom of health itself with it on your way.
According to Damon, a life purpose has three components: It’s a long-term calling, act, or way of life that interests you; it’s something you have some competence in; and it makes a marginal difference in the world. Striving to be the best parent you can is a purpose — raising kids to become caring, respectful, and happy adults is your way of making a material impact — whereas wanting to make a lot of money with the sole intention of satisfying your every whim is not. It’s also common to have multiple purposes in life, Damon says: Your faith, your family, the satisfaction you get from your job are all common sources.
Considering your purpose may seem like a project for the privileged, that you must have enough time and money to seriously consider your values. However, purpose can relate to practical matters, such as keeping your family safe, as well as the broader contours of your interests. You can work toward your purpose in incremental ways without sacrificing resources. The most important is,... BE FEARLESS. Fear is the driving factor of insecurity ,low self-esteem, unhealthy mental as well as physical patterns, and a supporter of trauma and anxiety itself.
is the limiting factor stopping you from working toward what you want. Fear distracts us and leads to excuses – but it doesn’t have to. Learning how to overcome fear is one of the most liberating pursuits you can undertake.
When most of us think of fear, we think of physical threats, triggered by a known outside event – a loud noise, looking over the edge of a high place or standing in front of a crowd. Physical fear can even take the form of phobias – as many as 12% of adults experience a phobia at some point. Phobias are an extreme fear of a very specific situation, object or animal. Spiders, heights, public speaking and enclosed spaces are a few well-known phobias.
During a physical fear response you’ll feel your heart beat faster and your breathing quicken. You may feel a pit in your stomach, feel dizzy, sweat or get a dry mouth. Your muscles may feel more tense or weak. These are all results of your body’s “fight or flight” response. Without the fear response, you’d leave yourself wide open to danger. Yet in the modern world, fear can take many other forms – and some of them aren’t as obvious.
ANXIETY
Think of anxiety like long-term fear. It’s typically focused on the future rather than the present. Anxiety disorders are on the rise in America: As much as 18% of the population is affected each year. Anxiety and stress can have long-lasting consequences: When you live in a state of stress, your body releases a chemical called cortisol. Too much cortisol can cause problems sleeping and focusing, weight gain and even affect your immune response.
For many of us, risks like taking the leap into a new career, letting ourselves be vulnerable in a relationship or even investing our hard-earned money can cause generalized anxiety, where you have difficulty falling asleep, can’t concentrate and replay the same scenarios in your head over and over. But what is the root cause of these thoughts? Tony has found there are several types of fear that can be deeply ingrained in the psyche.
FEAR OF UNCERTAINTY
At our core, all of our thoughts, decisions and behaviors are driven by Six Human Needs. For many of us, certainty is our most powerful need: We want to know what is coming next. And while we do need some certainty in our lives, we also need uncertainty and variety. A fear of uncertainty prevents us from getting out of our comfort zones. It tells us, “You might as well stay here, where it’s safe.” And it’s the real reason why many people feel stuck, unable to achieve their goals.
FEAR OF FAILURE
Fear of failure is another common fear that stems from the human need for certainty, as well as the need for significance. We are wired to avoid pain and gain pleasure – and avoiding failure is surely an easy way to avoid pain. We want to feel significant, but failure makes us feel small and unimportant. Yet we’re also wired for growth, and as every successful person on the planet knows, failure leads to growth. You must shift your mindset on failure to think of it as a positive, not a negative.
HOW TO OVERCOME FEAR
Conquering fear means harnessing the fear response and using it to your advantage. Learning how to conquer fear begins with finding your center. Here are dependable tips to overcome fear and anxiety so you can live life at its fullest.
1. IDENTIFY YOUR FEARS
Learning how to overcome fear is much like any problem-solving challenge in that you must identify the challenge in order to overcome it. What is it you’re afraid of? Sit quietly for a few minutes and observe your thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. Write down what comes up, and be as specific as you can. Consider embracing a daily mindfulness meditation practice to gain greater clarity on what drives you. As you find your center, you’ll feel empowered to confront your fears.
2. RECOGNIZE THAT FEAR CAN WORK TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
Our emotions exist to tell us things. When you feel fear, your soul wants to tell you something – so listen. If you feel overcome by stress or distracted by a subtle-but-persistent anxiety, it’s likely a subconscious fear that needs your attention. Rather than avoiding it, overcoming fear requires leaning into your anxiety. View the fear as a piece of information instead of a threat to your survival. When you use anxiety to your advantage, it can’t ruin your life. In overcoming fear, it becomes your ally – a critical source of guidance to reach your full potential.
What if you hold the key to your own wellbeing in your own hands?
What if medicine wasn’t a drug that you take or an operation that you get?
What if medicine is something that you live every day?
Your body is constantly communicating with you – it sends signals via hormones and electrical impulses (waves of energy) so that each cell is in constant communication with all the other cells. Your cells talk to each other all the time and in this way your body talks to you.
If you stop and allow your body to go really still you can begin to feel the sensations in your body. It is easy to become aware of your breath and how you are breathing – you may even feel the pulse and rhythm of your heart beating. As you practise tuning into yourself in this way, you develop an awareness of how different areas of your body feel.
By being still and connecting to your body, you develop the ability to listen to what your body is telling you.
If we can learn to listen to the signals from the body we can develop true medicine, as medicine is something we live . . .
. . . not just a pill or a potion or a doctor in a hospital, or the hospital itself. Although these are a much-needed part of our healthcare, we essentially hold the key to our health in our own hands, as we are the ones responsible for how we care for our health every day.
True Medicine is a livingness that comes from listening to and respecting the body and making choices in accordance with what the body would, by design, choose for itself. Your body would and does always choose love.
