What makes a meaningful life
What Makes a Meaningful Life? It is hard to give a definite answer to the question, “What makes a meaningful life?” This is because everyone has their own ideas of what makes a beautiful life. What may give purpose and meaning to one person, maybe completely be different to what gives purpose and meaning to another. In a general sense, I believe, a meaningful life is a life of happiness and self-accomplishment, a life that is surrounded by loved ones and activities that are enjoyed. If a person is content with what they are doing with their life, then to them their life is meaningful. To have a meaningful life is to wake up every morning with a sense of appreciation for the opportunity to live another day. Everyone is here for a reason. Finding that reason could be difficult, but in order to find it, you have to pursue your passion. Doing everything that it takes to accomplish something that you love makes your life worth living. Whether it be caring for people, excelling in your job, or creating something new, your passion creates a joy inside that compares with nothing else. When you know that you are working every day towards that passion, you feel a sense of purpose. You are driven towards this state of self-accomplishment. And until you are able to accomplish this goal, you are unsatisfied and feel a void in your life.
Reaching self-accomplishment should be an ongoing goal for everyone. The entire process gives your life meaning, but you cannot stop when you think you have reached your goal. You must continue to set your goals higher so that your life always has meaning. Imagine if one had a physical or measurable goal and they were actually able to reach that goal within their lifetime. If they did not find a new goal, then their life that was already so accomplished would become a life without meaning. I think that would be a very lonely and sad way to spend your remaining years.
