An Individual Meaning

"There is not one big cosmic meaning for all; there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person." - Anais Nin, movelist and diarist

My life is a story that I'm creating a day at a time. That's my personal belief. It's also my personal belief that I'm co-creating my life with the God of my understanding. This quote fills me with joy because it means that we are all in the process of creating an infinite number of plots. That's very exciting to me.

I feel as if I'm part of one great big story - the story of the universe. I'm a participating human being today and that feels right. I am no longer caught up in the selfish desires I used to have. These days it's more about what I can give rather than what I can receive. Not every day is perfect for me, but most days I remember just how grateful I am to have come this far.

This quote fills me with comfort. My purpose here on earth is to allow others to write their own novels as they see fit. And so it is.
