Imagine you are walking into a café and while you take a seat and you are just about to have a look at the menu, the first entry gets your attention: Why are you here? (inspired by John Strelecky The Why Are You Here Cafe).

Journey to meaning of life

So when I ask you now the same question “Why are you here?”, you would probably check first where you are at the moment. In the living room? At the train station? In the office? etc. But this is not the question, friend. I´m not asking you why you are at the place you are right now reading this article. I´m asking you why are you HERE? In this world. Why do you exist? Right now in this moment a lot of things are happening in your head. To answer this questions you have at least to be aware of three more questions:

• Where do you come from?
• Who are you right now?
• How do your future look like?

As you can reflect just backwards, using the past and got your anker point in the present, you can live life just in one direction: forward! I have some more questions you should think about:

• What is your background story?
• What are your values in life?
• Did you already find your purpose?
• Do you have clear dreams for the future?
• What is your plan to achieve these dreams?
• Are you happy and satisfied?

All this questions can help you answer the question of all questions: Why are you here?

I´m affraid of people who never thought about this and probably will never do. It´s a kind of compass that will guide you through one of the toughest games we ever have to play: life. I know successful people who are doing amazing things, living a wonderful life and even are able to help others. They understood why they are here. They know about there strengths, have a roadmap for the future and can tell you exactly what their motivation consists of.
