Life is truly a strange thing that nobody in the world completely fully understands. No one has been able to figure out why we have a conscious, what granted us a conscious, or what do we do with the life we were given when we became a person. A famous quote about life that has a very deeper meaning than what is presented is by William Cowper who lived from 1731 to 1800. “Existence is a strange bargain. Life owes us little; we owe it everything.

Imagine how the pro athletic world would be different today if each of those players gave up as soon as they attempted to succeed but failed. Now imagine all the people that actually gave up and moved on to find something else. You basically have to embarrass yourself and have no clue what you are doing before you can find whatever it is. Another way of finding a true purpose is to think back to a day you completely lost track of time because you were so caught up in something that minutes turned into hours on end. An example could be video games since many young people today love to spend entire afternoons sitting in front of
