Today a thoughtful, philosophical mind-set can prompt you to look for answers to your questions in books or the words of wise teachers. As you ponder the meaning of life, you may be dismayed at your inability to come to any firm conclusions based on your studies. Finding the satisfaction you so ardently desire will likely be a matter of immersing yourself in many diverse experiences so you can determine which are significant to you as an individual. If you look at the substance that lies beneath seemingly superficial events in your life, you may even discover today that much of your existence has already proven meaningful.

When we believe that we have some larger destiny, we are vastly more willing to extend ourselves in the exploration of our individual purpose. Thinking philosophically can help us find the means to discovering what we were fated for, yet we still must reach out into the wider world if we wish to fulfill that fate. We should not be afraid of the uncertainty that lies before us, as it serves to prove that our lives are like books that have yet to be written. The choices and events that touch us deeply are only as meaningful as we allow them to be by ascribing them with significance. Pondering the meaning of life is a futile activity unless coupled with our intention to manifest that meaning in our actions and experiences. You will put philosophy into practice today when you look for new ways to imbue your life with substance.
