A Meaningful Life #200

It's funny how I used to think having money was all about life, I mean, if you have money to settle all your bills, go on a vacation where you always wanted to, get your cravings exactly when you crave for them, then what else is there? That's a meaningful life to me, so I thought, But I was wrong.
Wrong because money isn't everything. Yes, Someone might have money and yet still be purposeless, no sense of direction, Zero impact, Zero joy. 🤷

How do you define a meaningful life, and do you feel you are living one?

A meaningful life is a life full of purpose and fulfillment, going after what matters to you, a life full of positive impact on others, a life with contentment, a life that drives growth with passion, a life that everyone else can look up for.
To most people, living a meaningful life is all about doing the things they love, not minding whether it's affect their next door neighbor or not. But, life generally isn't designed to be self centered. A well lived life is that one which carries others along.

I myself cannot entirely say I am living a meaningful life already because it is a journey. A life time journey where you learn, unlearn and relearn, and as you learn, you keep growing. At my best, I am always cautious of the way I live, I strive to be a better version of myself everyday by doing the things that will not not just make me happy but also make others happy, I also make sure that whatever I am doing aligns with my goals in life.

Aside this, I am contented. It is not as if I don't want more but you know that feeling when you are just walking and racing at your own pace, you ain't rushing to afford anything.... Yeah, that's what I am talking about. I find fulfillment in doing little things and to me, this life is more fulfilling and meaningful than any other thing.

That's it

Thank you for staying with me to the end. I hope you enjoyed reading through ☺️

Excellent reflection my dear @queenkong. I agree with you. You have summed up the fundamentals of a meaningful life.

A well lived life is that one which carries others along.

I loved this phrase
because true happiness involves those around us. Best regards💐🤗

You are not alone. There was a phase in life when I used to think enough money would give meaning to my life and everything would be okay. Obviously, I was wrong and life made me realize that money is important for not everything in life. Living a meaningful life varies from person to person, some think loving a family and finding happiness in the family is the meaning of life, and some like to do something for society and also make an impact. It depends on the individual but everybody somehow tries to live a meaningful life.

Thanks for sharing...

Wrong? no you are not wrong! money is life, life is all about money, every other things doesn't matter , it is fine to be dreamless, purposeless, as long as there is money to buy the things you need xd
