Haadia Mumtaz asked C. JoyBell C.:

Hii. First thing first. you're literally a MAJOR inspiration in my life. You've changed my paradigm about almost everything in life.so the question is, I feel like I am wasting my life and one day I'll die without leaving a bit of colors on the canvas of life. I am frustrated from my daily unproductive cycle. I want to give my existence a meaning. How do I do it?

C. JoyBell C.
Dear Haadia,

Thank you so much! Your kind words I find most encouraging! :) I am very glad to have played a major role in your paradigm shifts! I find that is what I am doing in the world. Exactly that. Shifting the paradigms! I am most certainly a paradigm shifter.

As for your question... I've been there before, feeling just like you're feeling right now! Wanting to be in a more productive position, wanting to give my existence a higher meaning... I wish there was one magical key to unlock this question, but I think there isn't one. But I will say this: it's really all about the soul and the mind. Okay, maybe there is a magical key, after all! It's found in two words: KNOW THYSELF. When you begin on that journey into yourself, suddenly you will begin living in a new paradigm. Actually, since you have said that I have already shifted your paradigms, then that must mean that this awareness of the need to fulfil something in this lifetime, is the result of those shifts. It's quite a difficult process, really. I would describe it like going through a period of intense hunger, during which time you feel so famished and you really need to find something to eat. I really can't advise you on your own life path, because you will find it, yourself. Each of our paths is very unique! Just keep on taking in whatever it is that feeds the hunger!

Thank you for your question, and I hope to hear from you again, if you still have any questions to ask in the future!

Sincerely,
C. Bells
