What is the Meaning of Life? By Mary Jaksch Do you sometimes wonder what the purpose of life is?
If you are not sure, you may be looking at life the wrong way. You may have a view of life as a path. However, there is another way to see life. Read on to find out what that way is.

Life as a field of action Life as presently defined and pursued by science is confined to the physiological mechanism in matter. 10 Easy Tips for a Balanced Life. The Little Rules of Action. “The shortest answer is doing.” - Lord Herbert Post written by Leo Babauta.
Follow me on Twitter. Too often we get stuck in inaction — the quagmire of doubt and perfectionism and distractions and planning that stops us from moving forward. And while I’m no proponent of a whirling buzz of activity, I also believe people get lost in the distractions of the world and lose sight of what’s important, and how to actually accomplish their Something Amazing. And so today I’d like to humbly present a few little rules of action — just some small reminders, things I’ve found useful but by no means invented, common-sense stuff that is often not common enough. 1. “Talk doesn’t cook rice.” - Chinese Proverb —Read more about simple productivity in my book, The Power of Less.
