 What is the meaning of life?
For animals the meaning of life is to survive and reproduce, and soley that. This is also true for humans except we also enhance our survival on many levels which is apparant by Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and we define our own purpose to enhance our survival within society. Essentially, higher levels of survival correlate with happiness. However, there are many people that feel stable, secure and happy without achieving wealth. This because they value other things more like family, and they don't have very high expectations.
What is my purpose in life?
You might still be wondering how all this relates to you. The answer is simple; defining your own purpose means choosing your destiny and taking responsibility for your actions. Your purpose is your mission in life and your goals support your mission. You can change your purpose or mission at any time, but ultimately your life is what you make of it. Whether you are happy or not will depend a lot on your expectations in life that have to do with lifestyle, friends, family, money, career, etc.
If you're a spiritual person that believes everyone has a predetermined destiny, then choose your attitude in life. Would you prefer to live your life by being proactive about reaching your goals or live your life reactively and feel like you have no control - whether you do or not doesn't matter. Being proactive is a lot healthier and leads to higher self-esteem and happiness.

Life’s Great Question – Why?
By: Donald Yates | 16/05/2008 | Motivational
Man struggles along the path of life with a heavy heart and bleeding feet only to find in the end the grave awaits. He harbors resentment, a sense of incompetence which besets his every avenue; and in his blind groping he lifts his hands in speechless anguish, and his weary cries stir the air with supplications to an apparently unheeding God. Where art thou oh Lord?

Why God Exists From a Scientific Point of View: the Theory of Infinite Complexity and the Theory of Appreciation & Manifestation
By: Daniel Nase | 14/07/2008 | Religion
Do you ever wonder if God or something similar really exists? Do you want proof that God exists from a scientific point of view? Do you ever wonder why God rarely, if ever, has an impact on your life? Do you wonder why things like genocide, rape, suffering and murder are allowed to happen? Are you an atheist or agnostic that wants a rational reason to have faith in something that you cannot see, touch or hear? Do you ever wonder which religion is right when there are close to 2,000 on the planet?
