Finding meaning and purpose

Whats my purpose in life? Whats the meaning behind it all? This seems to be one of the biggest questions people ask the wise sages of the past and present. How about this, no thing has meaning and every thing is the meaning. The meaning or purpose is whats unfolding as your life right now, like it or not. It seems we only become aware of the thirst for purpose or meaning when we find ourselves in doubt and confusion. When we like the way our life looks we are fine with the purpose being whats happening here now, even though we usually have a skewed misinterpretation of what it is that's happening or what is going to happen. When we don't like the way our life looks we start to look for purpose outside of whats unfolding here now. The meaning behind it all is in every moment, and the purpose is to completely be it, whatever it is in every moment.
