Have You Ever Asked: Why Am I Here?

We all have, at some point in our lives, questioned ourselves, our being… and asked ourselves “Why am I here?”

Have you ever wondered “why”? You simply stop, look around, and ask yourself “why am I here”. Yet, you’re sure (you think) there’s a reason you’re where you are.

Maybe you’re sitting in your office, at home, in a park, or at the beach …relaxing and looking around… and your mind wanders as you wonder “why am I here … what’s my purpose”.

There I was, driving across a reservation on the outskirts of Phoenix recently (it’s a scenic shortcut if you know it’s there) literally in the middle of the desert, no buildings, no people, just an old, worn two-lane road in the Arizona desert. And there it was. A fire hydrant. And farther down the road another. And another. Fire hydrants in the middle of literally nowhere.

And I wondered “why are they here?” I stopped the car, got out, walked into the desert, and took this photo thinking I might find a clue. Standing there looking around in complete solitude, pondering this fire hydrant, it occurred to me. I knew there was a reason, a purpose! There always is.

What’s your reason or purpose in this life? You WILL figure it out eventually. We all will. It may not be what you have always thought. But it’s there for you to find.
