When I purchased Gun's N Roses' Use your illusion double album, there was one catchy tune which drew my attention, 'Live and let die', the Paul McCartney cover. Just as the name implies we often live our lives not knowing the purpose of our existence. Our lives are getting complicated at the ticking of the clock. That begs me to persuade the meaning of life and happiness.
If you take a step back and relax to look upon yourself, you might be able to see who you are from a different perspective. We often question the person we often see from the outside. That prompts to question our existence.

I figured happiness arrives when we defeat the fear, uncertainty and doubt. That often requires a total abandonment of the constraints that were tied within, be that the society, friends or family. That's an uphill task unless we live off the grid. As I grew older, I discovered the happiness could only come from God.
For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind. Ecclesiastes 2:26 (ESV)
I figured happiness lies in the creation, enjoying His wonderful creation the best one can do, during our days that are numbered. No matter what your life's situation is, enjoy the glorious creation be thankful the Creator, that's where life begins.
