Grey Area in Life Philosophy

I’ve been living for almost twenty years and still can’t understand the meaning of life.

Just clueless.

Should we strive, to challenge ourselves to do our best in everything, and to utilize every bit of talent or wisdom God has given us to become someone successful in life?

OR

Should we just stay cheerful and live our life the way we like? As people always quote, “Life is short. Live it the way you want it to be.”

For some people, the two statements can be merged into one good sentence, and be practiced in their life as well. For example, a musician can live a happy and meaningful life and be successful in his career. Minorities can achieved this balance.

In comparison, a doctor, who strives hard to study all the human anatomy and stuffs his brain with unlimited increasing knowledge, can’t be cheerful always. Disappointment and depression are always by his side. He might miss many beautiful things in life, such as the precious moments with their love ones. Majorities fall into this group.

For most people, it resembles the case of the doctor. The two lifestyles are just like a pair of parallel lines. Never meet.

But we always hear that doctors are serving God, as they are appointed specifically by Him. Is this what life is all about? About serving Him the way He wants?
