The Meaning of Life with Dr. Bob

In their search for the meaning of life, to be happy, one of our blog readers asked this question: How to attract the best?

I am not sure they were talking about the best of humans or the best of everything. Fortunately, the principles I am about to reveal apply to both humans and other-than-humans.

Additional text follows after the video pane.

This is not meant to be a flippant answer. To attract the best, you have got to be the best. I have seen it time and again in my 40 years as a full time life coach (clergy), people attract what and whom they want to attract. So, if they are not being authentic in their own selves and how they present themselves to the world, they will attract people who also inauthentic. People who are genuinely happy, attract others who are genuinely happy. Persons who are usually positive in their outlook on life, usually attract positive events and persons to their lives.

One caveat here. Some folks are looking for others to fill the gaps they feel in their lives. You need to be careful here. For example, if you are positive, someone who is negative but wishes to be positive could be attracted to you. You have to take the usual precautions when developing a relationship with anyone. Not everyone is as they seem, of course, on the surface.

First, find the best in yourself. By making constant, regular connection with The Source of All That Is, through meditation, find your own bliss within. Find the best within yourself. Cultivate that best until it permeates everything you do and are. You are not cultivating this to attract others. You are cultivating the best within you that you may be at your happiest. If you are seeking to be the best for others, you will still be their prisoner. You won’t be free to be who you really are. You cannot, then, ever be at your best. Be your best for yourself.

Second, when you have found who you really are and are happy within, OR while you developing happiness within and finding out who you really are, project or beam that bliss into the world. Send out good vibrations. Smile a lot. Be happy.  Act the way you really want to be.

Those people who are like you, will be attracted to you. “Birds of a feather flock together,” is a saying full of truth. It is something like taking a driving route to get to a certain destination, to switch metaphors mid-paragraph. Along the way on that route, others will join you who have the same goal. This way of being and doing will help you develop the kinds of relationships you really want.

I had just given a talk about the meaning of life. At the greeting line, one woman said to me, “I need you to tell me exactly what to do.”

I told her I couldn’t do that because she was her own person and needed to follow her own path. “But,” she said, “you clergy have always told me what to do with my life.”

Again, I said I was not going to do that. She was free to choose her own way of life. She did not attend many of my talks after that. She simply needed someone to tell her what to do. She thought.

So, this blog post is not going to tell you what to do. But one of our readers has asked the question, “What is the purpose of my life?” Believe me when I say that many, many people struggle with this question. Even more would engage this question if they allowed themselves the time to do so. They are so busy with life that they never stop long enough to discover what their life-purpose is. And I cannot “sit on high” and prescribe for anyone what they shall be and do.

The way you discover meaning in life and find your way to your purpose is by first making contact with the Divine, first. Meditation is the best and fastest way to that goal. Through contact with the Divine, you will discover that you are loved just as you are. You are accepted just as you are. This is liberation from any tyrannies that might say to you that “must” do this or you “must” be that.

Happiness and Purpose Map

When you have discovered this liberation, you will know that your purpose, at foundational levels, is simply “to be.” (To be what? To be happy.) In other words, you are here on earth during your lifetime to experience all that is appropriate for you to experience. (A la Neale Donald Walsch in Conversations with God, which I wholeheartedly recommend.)

When you have accepted within yourself that you are free to experience, then you look around to see what brings you the best resonance with the happiness you have through contact with the Divine. This can be a literal feeling of warmth and joy in the torso of your body.

Example, but only an example. Suppose you have felt so liberated that you discovered flowers for the “first time” in your life. Yes, flowers have always been around you. But in your bliss of acceptance you really see them. One day you are encouraged from somewhere to buy a bunch of flowers and arrange them. Arranging the flowers and seeing the completed arrangement gives you great resonance in the core of your being (Perhaps even literally in your body’s torso or even at a spiritual level.) It “dawns” on you that you could make a life (living) out of arranging flowers. Maybe then you have found your purpose in life.

Start by being happy at your core, then beam that bliss into the corporal world. When things are “right” for your and your purpose, you feel that resonance within you.

The meaning of life is to be happy. Your find your purpose through that bliss. Begin today to beam your bliss into the world.
