8/23/2017

 
​Living a meaningful life means that you’re at peace with yourself, with your life, and with everyone around you. Do you think you’re living a meaningful life? Take a look at this list below and see how close you are to living your meaningful life.

​Living a meaningful life means, on the very high level, that you feel peace, love, joy, contentment and freedom most of the days of your life. Are you truly living this life now? Keep reading if not.

​You can live a meaningful life

We all want a meaningful life even though we don’t say it or recognize it.

This tendency to not say it or recognize it is because we might be afraid that we’re going to want to make changes that others might not be too happy about or because we don’t feel comfortable with uncertainty in our lives or because we don’t trust or believe we have what it takes to achieve a meaningful life.
​
But let me tell you, there is no way around it. If you want to live a peaceful life with love, joy, freedom and contentment, you need to follow your heart until you’re living your meaningful life.

​How close are you?

Want to know how close you are from living a meaningful life? Take a look at the following bullets and highlight the ones that match with you right now.
​
Although this is not a comprehensive list, and much less in order of importance, it will give you an idea of where to start so you can begin living the meaningful life you desire.​
  • You are excited about your day and can’t wait to start living it
  • You no longer care what day of the week is (ie: Friday or Monday)
  • You’re not afraid to try new things
  • You want something, you go get it
  • You’re excited when you figure something out
  • You know life is not that serious but it’s also not a joke
  • You set up goals but are flexible and gentle with yourself if you need to change them
  • You know yourself so well and love and accept the way you are
  •  You feel you are your best friend
  • You enjoy silence and solitude
  • You have healed some past hurts and know what to do to keep healing
  • You understand you are not your mind
  • You understand you are valuable and important
  • You understand the game of life
  • You’re always looking to improve yourself and your life
  • You take care of what bothers you
  • You know what to do to feel good
  • You know you’re doing the best you can
  • You know or feel or have an idea of your purpose here on earth
  • You know failure is not a bad rap like most make it sound
  • You’re okay with uncertainty because you know you can adjust
  • You know how to manage your emotions
  • Your emotional state does not depend on any thing or any one
  • You know what you want
  • You know what you don’t want
  • You know you have the power to be, do and have anything you choose
You don’t have to have all of these points nailed down, but the more the merrier, literally!

Just make sure you're honest with yourself when highlighting the bullets you've mastered. Also, you don’t have to brag about how meaningful your life is, instead live it well so others can see it’s possible and can learn from your example.
 Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it.” — Joseph Campbell

Living a meaningful life means, on the very high level, that you feel peace, love, joy, contentment and freedom most of the days of your life. Are you truly living this life now? Keep reading if not.

Wow. Your definitions are so satisfying that I think I don't need to find other sources. Thanks. I like the words you use that are so umderstandable. Especially that I am more into leyman's terms.

This inspired me. Hope others will also be. Keep inspiring Claudia.

Your purpose in life needs to be found if you want to achieve peace of mind like any other person in this world.

You are right, Veronica! Not only that, we also need to know ourselves, let go of unhealthy expectations and memories, and unlearn all the things that keep us from being our best selves. I'm working on courses and programs to help you with each one of those components. Hope to see you there. Hugs ☺
