Just live! Don't be so obsessed over the meaning of life
>> 04 January 2012
Every month I will read this magazine-Cleo. Even sometimes I buy other mags but at the end I always come back to this mag. What makes Cleo different from other mags is the articles inside it. The editor and the writers really know how to choose very interesting topics, topics that you can actually relate to your everyday life or ppl surrounding you. I'm not the kind of ppl who really loves to read but the articles in Cleo are really simple and have a very deep meaning. Most of them means sometimes you just have to accept who you are and don't try so hard to be the best but if you wanna be the best, what you need is to be creative.
I just bought this month's Cleo mag (I searched for it last week at MyNews bookstore but unfortunately it did not arrive yet so I was forced to buy other mag). I'm so happy to flip over the pages, see the beautiful and quirky Zooey Deschanel as the magazine cover and to read the content! So so happy. I'm not exaggerating but somehow reading magazine can really makes my eyes sparkles and my heart singing. I am so grateful for having this kind of feeling even just over reading a magazine. LOL.
However what really really really (see I write it thrice) catches my eyes in this months's copy is this article:
''Just Live! Obsessing over the meaning of life could be making you miserable''
Just reading the tittle will make you feel 'oh this is so trueeee!' and soon after reading the content you will nod your head non-stop (a sign you actually agree that you need to stop thinking so deep). In this article, there is a story on how this young lady go for a quest to find true purpose of her life. She always watched the Oprah show , read motivational novel and started to plan something good which was sooo not herself. However in the end, she did not feel any contentment and instead all the quests left her confused.
From here, searching for deeper purpose can actually presents more questions than answers. So whether you want more questions or more answers is up to you. As for me, I don't have any question and for that I don't need any answer. However the topic about life philosophy is very complicated because human is very complex and what's more our brain. So just live your life and do things that can make you happy. Its not that hard to know what will make you happy.
As for me looking at this picture of my nephew makes me smile
Till then. Assalamualaikum.
