“It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us.”
Recently, in re-reading Viktor’s Frankl’s autobiography, A Man’s Search for Meaning, I disco
vered the above humbling insight – that to experience life at its fullest I needed to focus on not what I would “get”, but instead, what I would “give.” This sounds simple enough, but now, older and wiser, I appreciate the deeper meaning of “What does life expect from me?” This question has caused me to do a one-eighty in my thinking and ask – “What am I really giving back to life?”
Some immediate thoughts about what life expects from me:
- To take time to know my strengths, talents and opportunities to change and grow
- To embrace and love myself
- To strive every day to be the best “Me” so that my “giving” is genuine and heartfelt
- To focus on health, not disease
- To explore and expand universal potential
- To leave each day better than I found it
As I ponder this question, I realize there are no quick answers. And so, I am reaching out to all readers for suggestions to help me answer this question – “What does life expect from us?”
