What is the Meaning of Life?
A question that has been asked an infinite amount of times since conscious life began on this planet.
There is an answer to the question of ‘what is the meaning of life’,But until we could explain our seemingly-imperfect, ‘good-and-evil’-afflicted HUMAN CONDITION we couldn’t afford to acknowledge what that meaning is.
Of course,there is also the theory that simply searching for meaning in your life, is the meaning itself, so don’t worry if nothing is jumping out at you, because simply by participating in the search, you are doing something incredibly meaningful.
If you are looking for your purpose and passion, "stop looking and start doing".That being said, below are my tips to help you figure out exactly why you are here, where your passions are hiding and what is going to be the spark to set your world alight with meaning.
1.Stop Playing By The Rules:
Some people find that the meaning of life is to have a career, get married, and raise a family.However,that doesn’t mean that everyone is meant to do that in their lives!
When you are living a life that is dictated by others it becomes hard to find the purpose of your own life.Children are often directed in one way or another by their parents. For instance, their parents want them to become doctors or lawyers, yet as they grow up, they have a strong desire to do something else.
If that sounds like you, then it’s time to dump the rules and start living the life you want.Why would you want to live your life for someone else? You will only regret it in the end.
Once you realize that no one has to live behind a set of rules and that everyone is unique in their desires,then you will be able to better find the meaning of your life and where you are headed.
2. Step Out of Your Comfort Zone:
The term comfort zone is code for a place you live in yourself without fear.
Fear of the unknown, fear of failing, or fear of not being in control.
Your comfort zone is simply a less extreme version of an obsessive, compulsive disorder.Strong, happy people with meaningful lives are adventurers.You become more of the person you were meant to be every time you push past your fears.
It doesn’t matter how small or big the step is; once you take the step,your comfort zone becomes bigger,and life offers you more opportunities. Face your fears and grow.
3.Ask Yourself What Qualities You Enjoy Expressing the Most in the World:
What makes you happy in life? Do you enjoy travelling, helping others, being with family, or all of the above?
This step again relies on a solid grounding in making adventurous activities, that you may just find bring you an incredible amount of freedom and happiness.
When you know what truly makes you happy and joyful in life,then you will find a sense of purpose to your life.You will find a direction that you need to go in order to create the most meaningful life possible for you.
"There is nothing more fulfilling than living your purpose every single day."
4.Follow Your Inner Guidance (What Is Your Heart Telling You?):
What if I told you that you have your own guidance system within you that can help you get from where you are in life to where you want to go?
It’s called your inner GPS. Your inner GPS is similar to the GPS system you use in your car or on your phone.It tells you how to get from point A to point B.
Your intuition is connected to your inner-self.Don’t get caught living your life in complete superficiality. Superficiality is meaningless; it is short term and soulless.
It tells you that you are making a bad choice with negative gut feelings and instincts.It also lets you know when you are making a good choice by giving you a sense of happiness and ease.
5.Appreciate The Individual Moments:
Don’t let the fast-paced superficial world take over your life. The world is fast paced and it keeps people in their comfort zones.
It stops people from thinking and keeps them busy.Being busy searching is wonderful, but don’t get so busy doing that you don’t allow yourself to feel.
Feelings are real, they are not fast and shallow.Allowing yourself to feel and truly appreciate a moment in your life is more of a challenge than actually experiencing it.
6.Lean Into Your True Life Purpose:
Once you have gained more clarity about your purpose, you don’t need to completely overhaul your life completely all at once.Instead,just lean into it, bit by bit.
Start living your purpose a little more fully every day, and pay attention to the feedback you’re receiving from others and in terms of the results you are producing,and also to how you are feeling.
Finding meaning in your life is not a difficult thing, but it is harder than living a numb, fast paced superficial life.
Make the decision to start your search for meaning and experience everything that this life has to offer. You wont regret it, I guarantee it.
