Passion and the Pursuit of Meaning

What are you passionate about?

What means the most to you?

What makes you happy?

What drives you to search more and harder and longer for an answer to your question?

What is the meaning behind it all?

Is there some main theme that we can all be a part of?

Is there some main thought framework that weaves itself into the fabric of our lives, that we can then hang on?

If we run out of logic, will life still go on?

What is the most important thing?

How do we set our priorities?

More questions than answers.

In Man's Search for Meaning, Victor Frankl shows that while meaning might change, man's search for it remains the same.

Now I must work at doing something worthwhile.

I must search for meaning.

I must work toward our shared meaning and worthwhile work.

Meaning

 There is meaning behind all of it.

There is meaning in the meaning of the world and the word meaning contains the meaning when and where it was and will be a part of all of it.

There is so much opportunity to write about the meaning of the world and the meaning of life, the meaning of death, how the meaning of all of it would make sense in and around all of the world.

There doesn't seem to be much meaning in any of this world or the working of the world. There is only the sense that is made by the meaning of what each meaning is taken as meaning.

In the end, what does it all mean?

What can be taken as meaningful and as important and worthwhile here in the meaning of all of it?

I don't really know what it all means. I don't really know what the meaning of life is, and I am pretty certain I have no idea how to discover the meaning of life. 

What is the meaning of life? 

What has meaning?

There is so much that could be shown to be of meaning and of import, but the meaning of life is such that the meaning is left for the individual to discover the meaning.

What does it mean? Where are we going? Where are you taking us? Where am I taking you? What is the meaning of this? What is the meaning of all of this meanness?

What I Want This Blog To Be About

Making a statement like the above title of this blog post makes it seem as if I have any idea of what I am trying to do here.

One thing that I know I want to do and enjoy doing is publishing something new to the web on occasion. I would definitely like that occasion to be more often than it is right now though.

In addition, I want this webspace to be a repository for all my creative endeavors, one place to place all the creations over the course of a lifetime.

Before now I had basically been writing random thoughts and expressions of ideas here, and little of it made that great of sense.

Now I am going to use this space more as an online journal.

I am going to be writing at first about losing weight and diets and exercise.

That is where I am going to start, but in the end, I will end up doing the same thing I have always done: sharing little nuggets from my life and brain.

So, without further ado, let's get started!



Personal growth is what this blog is mostly about.

Personal, spiritual, physical, emotional, etc. growth.
