I’m not here to give any life advice. I have been lately realizing what life is all about? Don’t get me wrong, I know this is a common question we all get at some point in life.

Justin Kan, founder of twitch. He is considered among one of the successful people who founded twitch and sold it later to some billion dollars amount. But guess what? He is the same as you and me. He shared some of his reflections and downside in life, how materialistic belongings can never fill your heart. Steve Jobs in his last commencement speech told something very beautiful that resonates with the truth and humanity's existence.

I still have not figured the answer to this question. Maybe there is nothing to even figure out. Life has no meaning, it shapes how you want it. We all are on the same journey, nobody has figured out what’s next. Everyone has an idea in their mind or people in their mind, whom they resonate and look up to. It’s not bad either. Without any memories, experience, information how can you even act?

So, what life is all about?

I don’t know.

Isn’t life all about how you live with all your experiences? The more different experiences you live, the wider you open your perspective.

So, I like to call life a living experience where we are living. The secret of happiness is being at this very moment and enjoy where you are right now. And what happens next? Your brain gets so used to being at this moment, that you enjoy just being and living. The more still and peaceful you feel, the more you release this energy and get acquitted to it. It becomes your very basic nature in DNA then.

Hold on, I’m not saying you will not feel anxious, sad, worried. But you may stop taking everything so seriously, and just live it.

So, what about this materialistic success? Hustling? Achieving your dreams?

None of them is bad. Choose what makes you feel best. We all have to go through this inevitable death. But, make sure whatever you do, just enjoy it. Having a growth mindset and living enriched experiences is beautiful.

Just enjoy whatever you do.

You can’t live for your future. You will miss many things now.

So, let’s start LIVING now.
