One where at the end of the road I can look back and measure my success by the number of lives I’ve helped, knowing that I’ve accomplished something that leaves the world better than when I entered it. I think that path can take many different forms though.
I used tofind meaning in how much I contributed to society. I don’t contribute much now, but feel that my life is meaningful just because it is my life. I don’t need to achieve any sort of higher goals or successes to be happy.
I suffered a severe case of burnout in 2007 while at university, from w hich I nevver fully recovered in terms of how much I can handle. But I’ve learned not to prioritize that.
In general, a meaningful life path would be the chosen life path, being one that was selected and followed. ACTIVE AGENCY. You do you, and know that you are you. 😎
For me, for my life’s journey to have meaning, I need to be told by other people that I was able to help them lead them somewhere beneficial… Because I know what I do, I just don’t know what it is. LOL
1. Living a life that is directly derived from our values, and not wavering when it comes time to make the hard choices. 2. Accepting that those values can change as we live this beautifully unpredictable gift called life.
Once a guy asked God what’s the meaning of life??? God replied “Life has no meaning , it’s given to create a meaning.”

If life itself is a meaning, how come people still search for the meaning of life?
