There is no one size fits all answer to the question what is the secret of life?, but there are some road signs and maps available to help you get where you are going in life. These secrets and more will all be exposed on this website for your viewing pleasure.
How Do I Know the Secret of Life?
Let me get this out in the open right away. I am not a prophet, a psychic, or a fortune teller. I'm a normal Juan just like anyone you know. The only difference is that one day I had an epiphany about life and decided to talk about it.
The epiphany was this: we all know what we need to or know to seek out someone who can tell us what to do, but none of us actually do either. We sit in our meanless lives worried about one thing or another, purposely blocking the truth from our mind to escape the idea that we have to change in order to get what we want.
Exactly What is the Secret of Life?
If you are into philosophy, you like might like Stephen R. Covey's answer. He says "Life is to Live, Love, Learn, and Leave a Legacy". I think he's got a great answer, but it's layered and possibly too much for our TV-gooshed brains to handle. So let me tell you my answer. I say life is coming to terms with yourself and understanding that we are all part of a bigger picture.
Fundamentally, we all want to be happy (live), we all crave affection and attention (love), we all have a picture in our minds of the ideal life (learn), and some of us want to provide a better life for posterity (legacy). These ideals are part of our making as human beings, they aren't goals - so stop trying to reach them and don't kill yourself with dozens of plans on how you're going to accomplish them all by the time you're 60. You'll end up becoming a Type-A Personality and be in a worse situation then you are today.
Why is it that the suicide rate is higher in high income families than in lower income families? Why do superstars become obsessed with cosmetic surgery and develop a fear of germs? It's not the money that's the problem, it's the fact that these people didn't have a clear vision of what they wanted, so when they became wealthy they didn't know what to do with themselves. Knowing what you want out of life is everything.
