Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced. Soren Kierkegaard

Where can you find the instructions to life?

How will you know if you’re assembling your life correctly?

The truth is that you will never really know.

You might have some semblance on your way through your life that you’re doing it correctly. You’ll look around and see what others are doing and you’ll attempt to match your life to theirs.  At times you’ll feel as though you’re right on beat, and there will be other times when you’ll feel way out of tune.

Fortunately and unfortunately life doesn’t come with instructions. I say fortunately because if it did then all of our lives would look and feel almost identical, and where’s the fun in that? But it’s also unfortunate, because at times when you’re grasping for answers, it would be so much easier if there were a set of instructions to turn to.

Now there are certain guiding principles that you can choose to adopt that might make your life a little easier. For example there’s the golden rule ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you,’ which is a solid rule to live by and will probably serve you well.  And there are a few others that could serve as a mini foundation for you to build upon, but that’s really all there is.

You’ll come across all kinds of advice and tips and tricks that might look like instructions for your life, and some might even work for you, but you will not come across a set of customized instructions designed specifically for you. You and your uniqueness will have to figure your own instructions for life as you go along.
