"Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact." William James
Daily human experiences at times suggest that our life is useless and meaningless. Thousands upon thousands of people have felt and commented bad about themselves. Life is not meaningless. Your life is not useless. Your life has a purpose, a goal and a mission to accomplish if you realize that you are special and your life is meaningful.
The other day my close friend Ravi shared some nice insights about life. He said that he used to see his life as meaningless. He even thought of committing suicide and getting rid of his life because he didn't find any meaning in life. There was no clear idea what he should do or use his life for. Then he came to a big realization that his life was meaningless because he was doing what he really didn't want to do. His life seemed meaningless to him because he was not doing anything different. In other words, if you find your life to be meaningless, it is only because you are doing meaningless tasks and nothing more than that. Life becomes meaningless if you do what you don't want to do yet you happen to do it. The best thing is to avoid doing what you don't want and do what you do want. This way you can find your life to be meaningful and useful.
Life is meaningful if you do what you want to do. If you do what you want to accomplish, you can be sure that life will be interesting and useful for you. There are many people who find their lives meaningless for reason they fail to do what they are supposed to do. Do you find yourself less interested and useful to contribute something to the society? You must never consider your life meaningless. Walk with your head straight and up so that you can be sure there will be some goodness and happiness.
My best friend realized that he was doing wrong things and that made him to feel life meaningless. He was not focused and disciplined. But once he learned a valuable lesson, he considers his life has a great meaning and worth living. You can be sure to find your life meaningful in this world though your present situation may not prove to be promising and encouraging. Just keep in mind that life seems meaningless when we do meaningless things while life appears to be meaningful when we follow meaningful activities.
This is where the personal passion, niche and interest come to once rescue. You can learn to find meanings in small things no matter what you do corresponds to what you really desire. Do meaningful things and you will see your life to be meaningful and shining.
