Can't believe you jumped in! I am a searcher too. I have found the authentic meaning of life is to find Jesus, invite him into your heart. It means being saved and eternal life. I gonna surf the clouds, picnic on mountains with the creator of all life. Now that is blessed.
People define their lives by what job they have or are working towards. I think that is the wrong way to live and is wrong that our society perpetuates that kind of thinking.
