This is not the proverbial naval gazing, as some might suggest, but rather the core issues that concern many in various aspects of life and death. Through the ages, philosophers have questioned their existence and connection to a creator, spawning a multitude of religions and spiritual beliefs that purport to have the answers to these questions. The search for the meaning of life is bound in philosophical, religious and spiritual concepts that include discussion and debate on the existence of a universal consciousness, a Higher Spirit (God), the soul, and afterlife. Although these theoretical subjects are far above the concerns of most people, exploration of these concepts are vital in dealing with activities of daily living and one’s response to unexpected crises that may be experienced during ones lifetime. A strong foundation and belief in one’s identity, meaning and purpose in life, as well as spiritual convictions may help turn negative experiences into opportunities for growth.
