How to have an epiphany today (Discover the meaning of your life)

To change your life, change your mind.  See in such a new way that it changes how you think, speak, and act from that moment on.  Have a sudden answer to your two most crucial life questions:
  1. What is the real purpose of your life in this world? 
  2. What real difference do you make by simply being alive?
These two questions can't go unanswered for you.  If they do, why should you bother doing anything at all?  If your absence makes no difference, if your presence possesses no significance, if no one notices when you are not around, then how can you really and truly be happy?
 
Experience an epiphany. Do these three things.
 
  1. Ask.
  2. Seek.
  3. Knock.
 
Jesus, the light of the world, the light and life of every man and woman, gives these three keys to experiencing a revelation, an epiphany. This is the promise of Jesus, the son of God:
 
Ask, and it will be given to you.  Seek, and you will find.  Knock, and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives.  Everyone who seeks finds.  Everyone who knocks, the door is opened.
 
What is your most crucial life question?
  • Ask it. 
  • Now seek with everything in you to find the answer.  The question has to be a matter of life and death for you, something you really want to know, an answer you feel you can't live without.  If it is answered, your life matters.  If it goes unanswered, you might as well have never been born.
  • Try to open every door to every possible answer to this question.  Try to answer the question yourself to the very best of your ability at every given opportunity. 
In this process of asking, seeking, and knocking, you will experience a sudden answer to the question.  A revelation.  An epiphany.  Give God the glory.  You know the answer didn't come from you, because when you tried your best to answer the question, you couldn't.
 
Tell me about your epiphany.
I look forward to hearing from you.
