How to Live a Meaningful Life

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

Living a meaningful life means living a life that matters. It means living your life with more purpose and achieving things that are important to you.

Most of us want to live a meaningful life, but many of us do not know what doing so would look like in practice.

Below, we’ll take a look at some basic things you can do to start living a more meaningful version of your life, which will make you feel happy to be alive and joyful to wake up and start your day each morning.

Know what matters to you
If you want to live a more meaningful life, you first need to know what is important to you. Are you passionate about caring for the planet? Do you want to ensure that all animals are safe from harm? Is an irradicating disease of major importance to you? Write a list of all of your values and interests and you can start living your life more in accordance with the things that matter the most to you.

Give back
One of the major ways you can live a more meaningful life is by giving back to people who are less fortunate than you. It doesn’t matter how much money you make or how high you raise your profile, if you are not doing anything to improve the world around you, then your life is not going to be as meaningful as it could. 

So, whether you partner with the Global Health Institute to help them raise their profile and wipe out diseases or you spend every weekend feeding the homeless at a local soup kitchen, dedicate part of your life to giving back to find the meaning in your own.

Follow your passion
Life without passion is meaningless. So, if you want to ensure you live a meaningful life on your term, follow your passion and do what you love. Whether you have a passion for travel or a deep love of fashion it does not matter as long as it is important to you; as long as it makes you happy every day. Life is too short to settle for anything less than what makes you feel truly happy to be alive.

Stick with your principles
A meaningful life is a principles life. If you do not practice what you preach and if you do things that go counter to your deeply held beliefs, you will never feel quite as happy and fulfilled as you could. So, it is really important that you do your best to live as principled a life as you can. No one is perfect and we will all make mistakes, but if you try your best, you will succeed more often than not, and your life will be packed with meaning.

Life is filled with meaning, but you have to get out there and find it for yourself, ap what art are you waiting for? Get out there and start building the best, most meaningful version of your life possible!
