What is the Meaning Of Life

What is the meaning of your life?

What is your your answer?Think ... think ..... think again .....

Have you got the answer?The answer is in the question itself.

"What is the meaning of your life?".

What? is the meaning of your life.

Yes, What? is the answer.

(The above is exerpted from a book by Ian Cooper, "Just Ask The Right Question".

My additional thoughts:I agree with the writer.

Our life is whatever meaning we give to it. It is up to us, personally and individually, to give our life its meaning - whatever it is. It can be rich or poor, smart or dumb, fulfilling or empty, success or failure, rewarding or emptiness, beautiful or ugly, fast or slow, joy or miserable, interesting or boring, etc, etc.. or rather .... whatever!!

Interesting about lifem isn't it? It made me ponder, whatever it is !!

Assalamualaikum.
Yes I agree with the 'freedom' we seem to have as most people think in this age and century. And most books and courses on personal development, motivational, self-help propagate that idea. Anything is possible, anything is probable...so the Meaning Of Life seems to be up to us to define...BUT I think we need to ponder...the reason: most of the books have been written by those who may not know Allah swt, let alone recognise Allahuakbar....especially the latter days authors...at least Napoleon Hill in the 'original' version of Think and Grow Rich book has 3 or 4 pages on 'Mohamed'(I have a copy for those who want to see)...of course he was referring to Prophet Muhammad saw.

To cut the long story short, I think we must answer the "What is the Meaning Of Life" by asking "What Allah swt wants us to be, do, have, etc" on this temporary earthly R&R of His....

My thinking in Bahasa Malaysia: Menuju Keberkatan Jitu....bukan kejayaan yang perlu kita tuju...lebih dari itu....KEBERKATAN..baru lah Hidup 2 in 1: Buat untuk Dunia dan Akhirat!

Itu saja. Tahniah Tuan Haji Mat Taib for starting this blog...Congratulations..
