There are no natural guarantees in life except the struggle between the stark, cold reality of survival and the dream of paradise that lurks within us all.
Freedom is not guaranteed to any of us. It must be fought for and, once secured, it must be guarded with the highest conscience and the purest values we can muster toward its survival in the dynamic and evolving culture in which we live our daily lives.
Like freedom, peace comes with no guarantee of longevity. Peace must be nourished with a continued absence of conflict between ourselves and others and cultivated with the benefit of prosperity, which is the fruit of peace.
And when peace is harvested and enjoyed on a daily basis, alongside the prosperity that a lasting peace inevitably produces, a guarantee of freedom is being written for us each and every day.

There are no free rides in life, only freeloaders.
Doing the same things over and over again until you die may sound like a great way to live your life but it severely limits the ability of the spirit that dwells within you to grow and evolve. And yet doing the same things day in and day out, year in and year out, for an entire lifetime, is just exactly what most people do.
Safe, predictable routines are the most desired of all Earthling life activities. They are cherished and even revered, just as the natural life activities of the animal world are held in high esteem by nearly all Earth cultures.
Why the natural world is a model for most human beings to honor and emulate is simply because very few people on Earth realize that nature is what you were put on Earth to rise above.

There is more to life than living it just for yourself. Living your own life is, naturally, the first order of business for any mortal creature. But the secondary responsibility of all mortal creatures is to live part of your life in service to others.
This can be as common and natural as parenting or as bold and risky as putting your life on the line for a cause that will eventually benefit mankind.
No one is expected to lay down his or her life for a frivolous reason but using your life experience to enrich the life of at least one other person is an eternal victory for the soul that dwells within you.

The purpose of life is to live your life by doing all the things that are required of you while striving to be a better person each day.
This is a tall order for anyone. In fact, it is such a tall order that virtually no one follows it.
But what is to be gained by not seeking the impossible and making it probable, if not possible, after all?
