The meaning of life is connection, it really is as simple as that. Think about it. Every single one of your happiest moments, you’ve felt deeply connected to something. Whether it’s nature, an animal, another being or even yourself! We feel our best when we’re tapped into the most connected version of ourselves.

Don’t get me wrong the meaning of life is not about feeling our best all the time, but it is a hint that we’re on the right path. Being deeply connected comes with the equal and opposite price of pain and loss when what we’ve been connected to inevitably changes. Everything has a price, and connection is the key that makes it worthwhile.
