The meaning of life has to do with you and others. Last post we explored what it meant to take care of you. How when the mask drops from the airplane ceiling, parents are instructed to put the masks on first. They help their children into the masks. If you haven’t saved yourself, in the case of airplanes, you cannot help your child.
So it is self first. But there are all these other people in the world. What to do? Not to mention all the additional flora and fauna in the world. What about them too?
You reinforce who you are by tending to these others. Actually, I believe, that all others are part of us. We are One. In the great One we all belong. So, when you do something for these others, you have done something for yourself. Imagine that. You cannot get away from helping yourself, even when helping others.
Whatever you do to improve the lot of the others who exist with you in the Universe you call home, you do for the 
benefit of . . . guess who? YOU!
I am not asking you to give beyond your means here. I do not suggestion that you make yourself poor either financially or spiritually or physically. I only request that you believe beyond your present means. Believe that what you do for others has a positive outcome for everyone.
This came home to me on a TV news report. There was a sound bite concerning the health care debate. The woman said something like this, “I’ve got my own insurance. Let them get their own insurance too.” There was no sharing of self in that woman’s audio attitude or visible demeanor. (Many others, of course, are unable to “get” health insurance.) That’s when life gets blockaded within the person’s own spirit.
But happiness cannot contain itself. When you have found true happiness, by being in connection with The Source of All That Is, your happiness simply wants to bubble out. Those bubbles float the air currents like soap balls blown from a child’s bubble wand. They burst on whomever or whatever they touch. (Thus spreading a little soap on everything.)
I guarantee that when you find true happiness based on contact through meditation with The Source, you will want to do this too. But it won’t be a forced thing. You won’t feel as if you have to do this. You will just naturally want to do this. And it will feel effortless. Soon, you won’t even have to think twice about it. You’ll be floating happiness over everyone and everything you encounter.
And you will be the better for it. And that is the meaning of life – spreading happiness because you are happy.
