Why are you Here?

It is natural to wonder why you exist. The odds of you being born is 1 in 400 quadrillion*. A chain of events that is extremely unlikely must occur for you to be born (read more here). That is enough motivation for me to want to make the most of this life. What about you?

The wisdom of Kabbalah tells us our purpose in life revolves around our desire to fulfill ourselves in all areas of life. This desire comes from the soul. Long term and enduring fulfillment is the goal. Feeling Good is the goal. Feeling love, happiness, and joy contribute to a wonderful sense of fulfillment. This fulfillment can be described as spiritual fullness that manifests physically.

“According to studies, people eat less when they are in a mode of creativity, growth, sharing and love as a direct result of the good feeling that fills them up. In contrast, when one feels empty he tries to fill himself with food he doesn’t need or consumes/buys products he doesn’t need…So how do we know when we are really full, full with long term and enduring satisfaction? If we look back and examine the times when we felt this full sensation, we would notice that it was easier to love others; we were happier, felt healthier, were more tolerant of others and felt like we had to share this feeling with others. This is a sure sign that we were tapping into long term, enduring, and spiritual fulfillment.”**

We cannot give what we do not have. When we are full of love and energy we share peace, happiness, and joy. This is why I wake up each day and choose how I want to be. I choose myself so that I overflow with love and energy to experience the world and spread love. What will you choose?
