Your First Step Revealed Here!
It's hard to imagine a more challenging subject than "The Meaning of Life!"
So many really BIG questions!
- Why are we here?
- What is our purpose?
- How can we finally know the fulfillment we long for?
And yet... What could possibly be more important than to know the true purpose for which you and I are here on earth?
After all... How can we hope to be fearless in the face of trying times unless we understand the real reasons why life unfolds as it does?

As you might imagine, real answers to timeless questions like, "What does it take for us to be at peace with ourselves?" -- or "Where are we to find unconditional love?" -- aren't easily come by, let alone found in a single place.
That is... until now.

Here's Your First Step
Let me share with you some of the amazing, yet down-to-earth lessons from just the very first talk.
First, we learned why it's so important for us to understand the meaning of life: The meaning we give to life is what defines our purpose for living. In turn, our purpose defines our choices... acting as the driving force behind everything we do and pursue! With this revelation before us, it brought us all to ask avery important question:

For all of our seemingly endless plans and pursuits, what have we actually won from the world that stands the test of time?
Here are the facts. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose; yet, regardless of the temporary outcome, this truth stands: our one true need remains unanswered.Possessions, powers, even the endless approval of others can't answer why our heart often feels empty even in the face of abundance. And here's why:
What we really want from life, above all else, is to know that our life itself is meaningful.
We want to see our own highest possibilities fulfilled, to know that who we are matters!
Being able to realize this precious new understanding -- about what is most meaningful of all -- empowers us in an unimaginable way. Our day-to-day choices change effortlessly, and our actions follow suit. Even our former sense of frustration with unwanted moments takes on new meaning!

We see that we can either walk the usual path, follow the familiar old pattern of hoping a brighter tomorrow is on the horizon... or, we can start looking in a whole new direction. This is why the most unwanted moments in our lives can actually prove most pivotal.They can give us the clear understanding that the part of us that has always defined our purposes and pursues them -- just doesn't know what it's doing!
With this realization we stop trying to find meaning, purpose, and plans through a level of mind that can only reconfigure old ideas.
Instead, we simply bring ourselves into the light of the living moment. Now we are present to what reality itself wants to give to us; we quietly, confidently realize that the true meaning of life is within Real Life itself.
The fear of "missing out" vanishes.
Everything we really need is right there within us.
And that's when it happens! That's when we make a grand discovery:

It is in the "mirror of the moment" that we find the meaning of our life, as well as how to make the most of it... all at the same time!
You see, Life is always showing us its meaning -- sharing with anyone who has "eyes to see" its power and presence, its simple beauty and perfect wholeness. But we're so used to looking in the mirror of our old desires -- and then acting on their demands -- that we've lost sight of just what a gift our life is intended to be... all the time!
Being present to what each new moment is trying to give us, versus trying to take something from it that we've imagined will make us whole, is the difference between fearless living and learning to live with fears that never go away.
The more clear we are about the true meaning of our life, the nearer we are to knowing a happiness and fulfillment that nothing in this world can ever take from us.
