What is the meaning of life?

in #mindfulness8 years ago (edited)

I believe that we have all asked ourselves about the meaning of life, at least once.

Why are we here? What is our purpose? Why do we go through all of this?

I've thought about that question too.
And luckily, I've found an answer which my soul recognizes as the truth.

I deeply believe that the meaning of life is to give life a meaning.

And that is the whole beauty of living. We decide what will our life look like and which purpose we will assign to it. We are all different and based on that, purpose of our life is different.

That is why it is absurd to draw conclusions about other people's lives.

We have been taught to judge other people. Most often we set ourselves as a measure of values, thinking how others should live the same way we do. If life of others is not compatible with our values and standards, we condemn them. When you become aware that everyone defines his life's purpose, judgement disappears, understanding appears, and understanding is the foundation of wisdom.

We all have our dreams and distinct definitions of success and happy life. If one woman finds its purpose in being a good mother and spending her life focusing on her kids, then she will seem incomplete to some other woman who pursues her career.

Here the keyword is seem, because she is observing from her perspective, very subjectively. Her purpose is in her work. Her thoughts have no value for the first woman and she finds no truth in them.

Be what you are. Is there a greater meaning? There is no special mystique neither philosophy going on here. It is simple. You give your life a meaning.

How to live your purpose?

By listening to yourself and your feelings from the depth of your soul. Your soul knows your meaning. Learn how to listen to your soul and you will know who you are and why you are here.

If you still did not find out who are you, don't blame yourself and don't be angry.
Take action and set out on a spiritual journey. A person who decided to work on itself but didn't find its meaning, does not exist.

Your soul has patiently waited until now. Soul does not force, it is patient. Soul is love. Soul is wise because it finds a way to remind you who you are from time to time.

Who led you to this post and the sentence that you are reading right now?

Yes, your wise soul did. Follow the signals of your body, especially when you have goosebumps. When they pass through your body, that feeling is the conversation of your soul with you. That is the confirmation of harmony between you and your soul.

Here are the questions you can ask your self to help you find your passion and purpose.

  1. What would you do if you would be certain that you will succeed?
  2. What would you do if you couldn't hear others telling you it is impossible?
  3. What would you do if money wouldn't be important?

Listen to yourself, not others, because as I have already said, others watch from their own perspective. Others will try to convince you that it is impossible that you are happy and that you most certainly do not live your purpose because you do something entirely different from them.

Be what you are. Listen to yourself, your instincts and emotions. Emotions of happiness, joy, excitement, peace, love, passion are the guidelines of the true path. Your nonphysical you, your soul uses aforementioned emotions to tell you that you are on the right path. If you love doing something, it means that your nonphysical you is saying: I am also enjoying it!

However, when you do the things you don't like, when you are angry, grumpy and you don't want to do it, your nonphysical you has separated from you. It has changed its focus, because it doesn't want to serve false purpose, not even for a moment.

Why do you let that happen?

Give your life a meaning. The thing you felt as your meaning, is actually the meaning of your life. And that is the only thing that matters. Your purpose must be important to you, not to others.

Don't be afraid of those moments which you call "bad". It is a contrast, and it is a part of your journey to happiness. Contrast serves the purpose of realizing what do you truly wish for. Sometimes you have to learn what you don't want, to be able to know what you do want. Embrace contrasts, embrace "bad" managers, "bad" jobs, unresolved relationships and awkward situations.

All of that is contrast, a part of the path and life.

The expansion or growth, is important.
The universe is expanding and we are expanding, and that way we create and grow.

The point of life is to enjoy the journey.
The purpose of life is the one you assign to it.
Don't waste your life. Give it meaning.

"Live your purpose and you will leave a mark."
