Meaning of Life

When you learn to serve others selflessly you tap into the inner goodness and love buried beneath your ego and protective facade. The joy of putting a smile on another person's face is by far the most precious thing you'll experience in this lifetime.

The path to lasting happiness is never easy. It takes mental discipline to turn away from the quick fixes being marketed to the masses. And it takes patience to make emotional investments in the people around you.

So, you often find yourself wondering about why we are all here and what it all means. Well, you are not alone.

In this episode, the discussion branches off into art and creativity. Surely the desire to express ourselves cannot be excluded from any argument about the purpose of existence?

All this time, you have secretly known exactly what you need. And that is to watch inanimate objects discuss the meaning of existence.

When you are seeking inner peace, sometimes nothing else will do but to watch a rock, a piece of paper and a pair of scissors discuss the meaning of life.

You need to see inanimate objects discussing the meaning of life. This series of videos features inanimate objects discussing the meaning of life. Talk about a win-win.

Have you ever gotten to a point in your life where you feel like the old paradigms just aren't cutting it? Have you entertained the thought that maybe "all is vanity and striving after wind"?

What's the point of living a full life if one only uses it to burden others? We may live in a world of classes and hierarchies, but life itself is equal, and because it's short, rare, and not absolute, it also makes it special.

Does all suffering come from desire? What is desire, anyway? What would we be without it? The debate continues in this, the second installment of an ongoing philosophical discussion among three strangely-vocal inanimate objects.

When you take the perennial meditative journey to the depths of your own self, you discover what it was like before the beginning.

Noimetics is a complete naturalistic philosophy that takes our understanding of our place in the universe into account.

Not all of us find our purpose so early in life; and that's perfectly fine. If we're listening to our minds, our spirits, our bodies even, they will let us know what to do when the time is right.

"Discover the Gift" tracks the story of a high flying, A-list Hollywood director who reaches the pinnacle of success to discover that there was something missing in his life.

If meaning were the sort of thing that could be tagged to the end of a sentence, as if it were the answer to a question, it would not be worth considering. But it is not at all that sort of thing.

There is a vast difference between "just being" as part of a life proudly lived and "just being" as a complete philosophy of life. As the former, it makes perfect sense. As the latter, it is bankrupt.

I propose noimetics as the new bank, the one where you can go to make meaning withdrawals and meaning investments. These are all meaning issues -- and only a philosophy that makes meaning its focus can address them.

What kind of role model are you today? And what kind of positive and meaningful "soulprints" are you preparing to leave behind?

Your time is now. Your place is here. It's up to you to figure out why you were chosen to be here, right where you are right now, and where you go from here.
