Purpose and Meaning

The purpose of life is finding your gift, the meaning of life is giving it away.

Accidentally, I read line above while scrolling Path yesterday. I was in a cab with my best friend and we were about to return to the office. It was sunny and humid, just like the other noon in Jakarta. This friend of mine, spent days of hers volunteering, teaching, and sharing, so I guess she was a perfect partner to talk about this. And she definitely felt it, completely agreed.

Finding the gift, then giving it away.

Blame my sensitivity upon things. Lately, there is uneasiness between my thoughts and my feelings. I felt like I did not do what I supposed to do. I lost my time with my beloved ones. I caught up not getting things done. I was feeling trapped by routine.
Then I decided to seek.
Unfortunately, the more I look for everything, the more I get myself lost.

Long story short, that line grasped me. Maybe all we have to do is stop looking. Maybe what we have to do is sharing what we have found. What He blessed towards us all along. What we might forget, what we might abandon just because we are too busy seeking for things we don't know.

No longer looking for anything.
It's time to give it away. I hope you too.
