Is There A Purpose In Life To Be Happy About

By Eula Clarke


A lot of people want to know what the meaning of life is. The question of is there a purpose in life is something that regularly comes up. This goes over in one's mind and often there is never an answer. Often this is because one is never happy and content in their lives or there is a psychological disorder.

Some people have a definite sense of purpose in their lives and don't even ask questions like this. It could be that they are very spiritual and this doesn't come into their mind. Some people are just content and have had a happy life. For them, there is no need to think about the meaning of their life.

When someone has been blessed with a marriage that has been very successful and children which have done well, they would be happy in their lives. They may look back to their various moments when their children were born, for example and be really grateful. A person like this will not have deep questions to be fulfilled.

Different faiths believe different things. The Christian follower will look forward to a time where they would enter heaven and this is something many dream of. Muslims serve God religiously. Buddhists and Hindus also look forward to a time in the afterlife where they will be reincarnated and this is important for them. The Jewish faith is one that is very religious and traditional in nature.

To get over this hurdle, it is best to work with a psychologist or some sort of therapist, such as a life coach. They will guide you through the difficult times and give you more of a direction. If one does not have a direction then they will start to dwell on the negative areas and this will get you down. One will start to think that you are a victim in life.

One can always look to evolution and base this on that particular theory. That will tell you why we are here. There is no spiritual reason according to Darwin. With this in mind, one is just put on the earth because they have been developed in a certain way and there is no real meaning.

One must also find out and know what you believe in and this will help you decide what your purpose is. This is important to a lot of people. It may be something religious, it may be evolution, or it may be something more personal. Being happy and content with life is the most important thing because this will keep you away from pondering on this subject too much.

Learning to be happy and content about issues in life is not easy. It is a process that one goes through and doesn't come overnight. One should work with a therapist and find what the underlying problem is. Working through stages in order to get to the ultimate goal is going to help the client in the long run. One has to patient with this, but with baby steps the progress and results will start to follow.
