The essence of living in a world full of questioning

Anytime I think deeply about life, I see that life is nothing. What is the meaning of life when everything is upon vanity? I often ask myself certain questions as to why we have to come to this life if everything will end up in vain, but God knows the best, that's why God is unquestionable. Is it normal to be born and die same day? Why the hardship? Why the failure? Some people give up at the point of success, while some will suffer till death. Life is really not worth it.

What's the purpose of life?
Some people believe a purposeful life is when they have it all in abundance, wealth, food, health, shelter, children, career, and fame, while to some, it is very difficult to achieve a purpose in life after the hustles and hurdles of life, they end up dying without a purpose. What is the meaning of life?

What's the purpose of life if, in the end, we will die?

A single mother died last week in a ghastly motor accident. It was a painful loss after the struggles of life; she couldn't wait to reap the fruits of her labour. She married an unfortunate man who never cared for her or her four children, so the woman has been the one catering to her kids alone. It was her second child call to the bar as a lawyer So, she was going to attend her daughter's success when she breathed her last breath in an accident🥲 All her suffering, jumping from one bus to another because she was a trader, fell under vanity. What's the purpose of life?

**Why hustle? What's the purpose of life?
Yemi Awesome died after hustling for years to become somebody in life🥲 The most painful aspect of it is when people with purpose, vision, and dreams die at the point of success. Yemi started from the church choir to become a famous gospel singer in our locality, but boom sickness came to deprive him of scaling higher, and at last death came to take him away. Yemi took that melodious voice away without looking back🥲 The annoying part after death is, we see no more🤔 What's the meaning of life?

A purposeful life is not without its challenges, but it's about how we respond to them. It's about growing, learning, and becoming better versions of ourselves. When we focus on our purpose, values, and goals, we begin to see the world in a different light. We start to appreciate the little things, the people around us, and the opportunities that come our way. My take is that whatever life throws at you, endeavor to bear the cross. Life is vanity upon vanity!

Life can be very funny sometimes, the complexities and challenges can leave us questioning its beauty and purpose. I've asked myself these questions before: Why are we living? Why do we have the poor and the rich? Why do we experience ups and downs when we're told that life is beautiful? If you've faced similar struggles, you'll understand my perspective. Finding one's purpose is very difficult. The fear attached to the "what ifs," sometimes encompasses our determination to find our purpose.

However, after navigating life's challenges and finding my path, I realized that life is indeed purposeful. A purposeful life is about having a purpose, a clear mind, and gratitude to God for creating us in His image. It's about recognizing our potential and the opportunities that lie ahead. A purposeful life is guided by a sense of direction, purpose, and values that shape our actions. I have been through a lot in life, right from my childhood days, that made me adopt this mindset, and I have begun to appreciate the beauty of life and the opportunities it presents.

The essence of life to me is not just about my existence; it's about my living with purpose, direction, and values. It's about trusting in God and myself, even when the road ahead seems uncertain. By embracing this mindset, I can find joy, fulfillment, and beauty in life, regardless of its challenges. What keeps me going is the zeal for better days ahead.
