The Purpose of Life

I've always questioned the purpose of my existence, or the purpose of any human being's existence for that matter. Why are we born just to die someday? Why do we have to go through the same daily routine again and again; wake up, go to school/work, eat, sleep and repeat that cycle till the day that our biological systems stop working and our bodies break down, decomposing into organic matter and merging with the earth once again. It's a question that has bugged me for practically my entire life.

Till today, I have not obtained an answer to that question.

This is one of those questions that you might never get an answer to no matter hard you try to search for it. Like which came first, the chicken or the egg? Or how the Egyptians managed to build pyramids without any form of technology (though this might already have been answered). No solutions = Frustration. Which is why I have came to a conclusion, that your life is how you want it to be. The purpose of your existence is determined by how you choose to lead your life. You have control over your destiny. Every single action made or chosen by you, sets the path for a new set of actions and this accumulation of actions will lead to, as cliché as it may sound, the story of your life. You choose to be happy, well good for you. You're going to do things that will make you and the people around you be happy because you chose it. Likewise, if you choose to be angry and sad, all those negative feelings are going to eat you up.

The purpose of life, is ultimately determined by you.

Happiness

"Happiness is a journey, not a destination. For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to being - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on us that these obstacles in our life, this perspective is helping us to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. "

A Soldier's Story

We recently had the privilege to talk to Sergeant Gary Boggs from the US Army (Ret) and he shared with us his story about how he was ambushed in Iraq. We encourage you to read his story about how he overcame his adversities to become a motivational speaker and spokesperson for Telecommunications Asset Management Company (“TAMCO”) Foundation: Embracing Florida’s Wounded Heroes.



I still remember lying in the hospital bed thinking to myself, “My military career is over.  Now what am I going to do?”  On September 26th 2003, while en route to four days of rest and recuperation (“R&R”), my Hummer was ambushed by a roadside bomb outside of Tikrit, Iraq.  As a result of the attack, I lost my left eye, ruptured both ear drums, suffered a minor traumatic brain injury and nerve damage to my left arm and hand.  That’s the thing with war – there’s no time out when you are injured...
