This is a little note from me about what I believe the point of life is. It's helped me navigate some deep existential questions and I hope it helps you too.

1. Exploration
The Point of life
A thought by Sandiso Ncube

2. The cycle of Life
• Birth: At birth, the world is new and
you are curious about everything, you
touch it, you feel it, you want to taste
it. So every waking day, you
EXPLORE just a little bit more…

3. The cycle of Life
• Growth: when you grow up, your body changes, your
view of the world expands, you rediscover your
environment, you see things you didn’t see as a child,
you notice and become more cogniscent of your feelings.
You notice your impact on others and grow a curiosity to
understand this more and so just as you had done as a
baby, you EXPLORE, just a little bit deeper.

4. The cycle of Life
• Evolution; In your teens and twenties, you learn a lot of
lessons, you mature, you find love, you loose it, you think
you understand relationships & people and discover you
don’t even understand yourself. Then your journey turns
internal and you search for your identity, for
understanding, meaning & purpose. The more you
discover the more you realise how little you know &
understand of yourself and the world around you and so
once again, EXPLORATION begins.

5. The cycle of Life
• Expansion; when you eventually get a grip of yourself and the world
around you, you grow a need to fulfil a greater, deeper purpose. You
grow a need to create & experience life through another , so you find
a life partner, and you have children. Just when things get settled and
you think you have a grip on it all, you slip on the proverbial rug, fall
flat on your back and yet again, you realise how little you know &
understand your partner, your children and the world you now know,
and so the EXPLORATION begins again, afresh.

6. The cycle of Life
• Reformation; Finally, the curtain call comes and if you are lucky, you have
lived your life well; and you get to look back at it with a smile. You say your
last goodbyes and you close your eyes and you feel yourself drift off.
SUDDENLY! You are awake, you are headed toward a light, you are very
conscious of yourself and you are at peace, and then it hits you! Hang on!!!
Is that…? Is that…Hea….? Oh, Is this what death feels like? But I’m not
dead, I’m here, I’m talking, to myself, but…..and then you realise, a new
adventure awaits and so you get yourself ready, because once again,
exploration awaits…

7. EXPLORE!
Its been right there in front of you, all
along, so go on, get out there &…
Life awaits!!!
Do you see?
