When I was 22 years old I came up with a theory of the meaning of life and I still think it holds true for me today. I was sitting on a gorgeous beach off of Coogee Bay in Australia pondering what it all means. Suddenly, in a moment of clarity it just came to me. The meaning of life is to serve. Think about it. We are all interconnected and we're all serving eaching other in one way or another. We get pissed when somenone isn't "pulling there weight" and we consider people like Mother Theresa saints for serving the poorest in the world. Bill Gates was rewarded with billions for making all of our lives easier with his Windows operating systems and Mother's are revered (or should be) for their service and sacrifice raising chiidren. You serve your family, community and whomever else you interact with daily doing what you do. Every plant and animal serves us in the food chain and we are lucky to be on the top of it. So basically, the meaning of my life is to serve our real estate investors the best way possible so what I do in my life has meaning. I used to think that teachers and doctors and clergy had the most meaningful of lives because the way they serve us is so important, but why judge it? You're probably serving someone the best way you know how and it's most likely making a positive difference in the world. I know this blog is not about existentialism, but the next time I interact with a customer you will know it means much more to me than money or status or accomplishment. It is the meaning of life to me to serve and serve well.
