to whom? there are about 6 billion answers for that question.
what do YOU want it to be?
you become what you think about.
people dwell on what they dont want therefore it appears time and time again.....The Secret is the Law of Attraction Whatever is going on in your mind is what you are attracting. Thought = creation. If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation
The law of attraction says you attract like a magnet what your thinking and feeling about.
watch the secret..its a good positive thing. here is the 1st 25 minutes.

It works 100%.
and why would it not?
1st step is having gratitude for all the good things in your life, thus focusing on positive things that make you happy.
2nd is asking and defining your goals, believing in yourself and having joy that it is coming.
These are all essential in becoming succesful.
it's you becoming positive and being grateful for what you have...starting to shift your energy etc...
it could come to you in a million forms...perhaps you get a raise, a part time job, go into a venture with someone, it takes time also..most people fail because they simply give up...
it is VERY rare for a very happy, positive person that gets off thier butt and works hard to fail.

Thank you for asking the most intelligntquestion one could ever ask. Acording to the Ancient Vedas which are the original wisdom which came with this materil creation by God. -
We are not this material body, IE; Race, color, nationality, Religion, mind, intellect, senses, job, etc. We are all eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. We never die, only this mortal body dies.
This material world is not our real home, it is called Maya (illusion) and is temporary and full of misery, only one fourth of the souls come here, and the rest are enjoying blissful eternal loving relationships with our Maker named above. We are here due to envying Gods position. There is only full cooperation in the Spiritual Kingdom and God made this world for those who did not want that. (free will) there is no real love without the opportunity of free will. After many lifetimes of trying to lord it over material nature, the living being becomes frustrated and looses interest here. So He begins to question his existence. When he becomes sinsere God reveals the Path back HOme.Those who are intelligent, take up the process of self realization (Bhakti Yoga) which gives one real peace, happiness and reality. Then at the end of life they can return to the eternal Kingdom where there is no more birth, death, old age, or disease and be eternally happy.
For info. Go to harekrishnatemple.com Read Bhagavad Gita- As it is by Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada asitis.com you can read it on line.

You're asking me? Ask yourself! :) Think about what things you value, love and enjoy. That's the meaning of your specific life.
Don't lose heart if your life seems meaningless, because it isn't. Things change all the time. Today, you might think there's no point to anything; tomorrow, you might meet the love of your life, or try something new that becomes your favorite thing in the world.
Life keeps moving forward, and if you move with it, it will show you its meaning. That's the great thing about the human mind, it has the ability to change all the time.

Uhmmm, does it matter? I live a pretty good life without really worrying about the answer.
I think life was an accident, arising from a few amino acid bubbles and then it evolved and stuff.
Does there really have to be a reason for life?!
Living things live because that's just what we're programmed to do, and we keep trying to stay alive.
Or something.

And the Secret of the Power of Sutraction (or is it Attraction?)---that is utter bullcrap.
Show me scientific proof.
It states that people die because they think negative thoughts and stuff. That's rather blaming the victim, isn't it? People like to believe in this Secret because they want to have something that makes getting what they want easy.
Sure, thinking positive thoughts might help, but don't you have to do stuff, too?
Ok, sorry...uh, I suggest you read the Hitchiker's Guide To the Galaxy series...It contains answers.

It's very likely that we are not living life. Buddha said that and Jesus said the same thing in the Prodigal Son story.. The boy was DEAD and is alive again.
To get a sense of what I'm talking about read this entertaining free online resource. The latter chapters will resolve your dillema.

Real meaning comes from living for a real purpose. Real purpose refers to questions such as, "what was I put here on earth to do?". Obviously, real purpose requires a Creator/God.
Many people confuse "what was I put here on earth to do?" with "what will enable me to get through life in the face of a pointless existence?" Here the answers will be to avoid thinking about it by keeping busy or to inflate our self-esteem by doing something praiseworthy and imagining the praise we should get. It seeks the illusion of having a purpose for living.
I would rather seek God even though I don't know for sure if He even exists.

Life is phase of our existence. It's the time we are given to give back as much as we can. It's our time to master unconditional (I mean really unconditional) love for everyone and everything. I know that sounds incredibly mushy but hey you asked.

What is the meaning of YOUR life is the question to ask. You KNOW it, just can't remember it yet. But, you will. Keep seeking. "When you find, you will be astonished and will rule over all." (Gosp. of Thomas)
