Being meaningful in Life!
Maybe this is the hardest thing I'm teaching myself to learn and incorporate in life!
Living a meaningful life is not as simple as I thought. It comes with a great responsibility as well. Knowing the purpose and adding value to every action I take, every thought I produce is something like a long battle with my natural being.
When I was replying to some comments the other day, this came to my mind. I ask myself, how rationale I'm. Am I making any positive impact? Does my stay here seem meaningful?
It's because when I see some very engaging comment, something which adds a great value to my thought process helps a lot to enhance my day. Doesn't it work the same in our daily life as well? I guess so.
Like I said, being meaningful is hard but not impossible.
First, you may live totally unconscious about your whole life. But once you realize your action has an impact, on your life and to others as well; you can choose if you want to be more meaningful.
And then the challenges come. You will find yourself continuously asking if you are doing things right.
It will seem hard at the beginning. But once you got habituated by this thought, you will find this way of living more momentous. But it's true, it takes a lot to always be on the side that you think adds value.
Can we all choose what we want, what our inner instinct tells us to do? What is holding you from doing so? Maybe you are also trying to be meaningful. But knowing what you are doing and checking occasionally helps a lot.
Why am I doing this?
Do I want to do this?
What do I want to do?
I ask these three basic questions to myself very often. It helps to clear up my mind and choose the right path. You can also ask yourself the same too.
Knowing our purpose, the significance of our action, being clear about our belongingness, what we are leaving behind, being good with coherence really really helps to find meaning.
All these may sound like some 'hard words to understand' for now. But take one action at a time, ask yourself the questions. You can live a more meaningful life that way.
Otherwise, what else would make our life fulfilling, make us more human if we don't become conscious about our actions and thought processes! That's why adding value and living meaningfully is necessary.
Don't think that I'm the wisest in the room, I'm still learning, I'm making mistakes, feeling bad about it, and learning...
When I do not know what to do sometimes, I ask myself what is my purpose, and what should I do. There are things that lose my appetite in my work but I remind myself that I have to do this to have money and pay bills.
