WRITTEN REFLECTION 4

I understand the duality of meaning of life and meaning in life, as the first part
as the external part of our existence, this is understood as factors external to the
individual that make the individual question their existence, as for example mentioned
in the chapter 3, from the question: will there be a supreme being? Questions like that
and the search for an answer to it is what gives people a sense of life, that the
existence of something external to them is valuable to their lives. And given this
external factor of the meaning of life, I consider that it is possible to have a meaning in
life without a meaning of life, because there is people who know our internal value and
understand that our success or failure in life depends solely on us and not from any
external factor; so you can have a meaning in life, giving you an internal sense of self-
understanding, self-compassion and personal improvement that overcomes any
barrier of feeling less. We must start from the premise that we must learn to walk
before running, so that all our physical, mental, and emotional energy should be
invested in a constant process of internal personal care that allows us to enjoy every
moment knowing that we are giving the best of we always and that again the owners
of our destiny are ourselves.
