Life, meaning, and "what not" by Brian Kent

In my myriad wanderings around this great planet of ours I figured a thing or two out. I have figured out A.) Life demands that certain things be done in order to be any kind of success and B.) These many conditions congeal to become what we know as the "meaning of life". For those in the know of at least a few of these conditions, these lucky individuals glide along life nonchalantly with a vivacity to their step. And those rare persons that know them all, well, they are living on a whole other plane of unbounded blissfulness. And with this knowledge, these insightful individuals truly understand themselves and the world at large.

Now, I am just a mere prole in society but with this knowledge I've attained, I will come many steps closer to that unlimited blissfulness. And it's this acquired profundity of life that I'm about to share with you. So read on with an open mind, set doubt aside and consider yourself enlightened.

Life's first condition is that it requires you to be always proactive. You cannot be one of these mindless yahoos that idly sit around reacting to every situation instead of being in control of it. Understand the negatives beforehand and know how to resolve them. Life's second condition, which I believe ties in with the first is always create opportunities for yourself. Any great commander from antiquity to now will avow to this explicit ideal. Do not be that someone that waits for "opportunity to knock" go forth and compose the necessary elements that will make your opportunity. And not just one, you must create several opportunities for any given situation. Life's third condition calls for you to cultivate relationships. Malcolm Gladwell discusses this in his book "The Tipping Point" as the mark of a successful and fulfilled person. You've heard the old saying "The one that dies with the most money wins!", well that saying is wrong the one that dies with the most Friends is the true winner in the end.

Take note my newly informed souls that these are just a few of lifes conditions that help create the whole which is the "Meaning of life". And when you take life's espoused conditions to heart my friends, you to can be the Buddha that has achieved the Noble Eightfold Path and is kicking back in that comfy recliner, sucking on a cold brew high in Nirvana.
