5 Ways To Find Meaning In Your Life by ValourDigest(m): 2:49pm On Nov 29, 2019
hat is the meaning of life?

A question that has been asked an infinite amount of times since conscious life began on this planet. I am not a particularly philosophical person, but if you are, biologist Jeremy Griffith presents the best explanation of the meaning of all things on this planet that I know of.

However this article is concerned with finding meaning in your life, which is basically the challenge set before all us humans, and something that we are all going to approach differently. 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.
Market your books

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.
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. Many of these children ignore their own desires because the rules dictate that they can’t have what they want.

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.

The definition of boredom and meaningless would have to have the word monotony in it somewhere—continual monotonous repetition creates boredom and certainly does not get you any closer to finding true meaning and excitement.
