Each life is unique, but there are common lessons in all of our lives. The problem is we often don't learn them till the end of our lives. One way to circumvent this problem is to see what other notable figures in history have tried to tell us.

One fundamental question in life is "What is life's purpose?" This is a very important question to ask yourself, as the answer changes everything! It significantly changes the way you view things, changes your pursuits, and changes the way you live our life.

I want to tell you a bit about my father- who was a happy go lucky person with a constant song in his heart. He never saw the movie The Secret, or went to Yoga classes. He did not read philosophy. And yet he manifested the good around him his whole life long. And when he passed away a week ago Monday I was there with him. I held his hand for a day and a half. He was loathe to let it go. And that time with him- time spent largely in the silence- was both the most heartbreaking and the most love-filled time of my life.

My father passed away a week ago Monday. I was next to him- lying, sitting, standing and holding his hand for the last day and a half of his life. It was a powerful space to be in. It was a space of true love- wordless and unspoken- but poignantly present. My dad could always make me happy. He was always a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. And he did it without the benefit of The Secret, or any of the manifesting tools we have today. That time with him during his last day and a half was both incredibly sad and incredibly beautiful.
