What is the meaning of life?

A person who has reached the turn of 30 years, as a rule, begins to think about the meaning of his life. Someone finds the answer, some do not. In this case, the first can not give an intelligible answer second. Why? I will try to answer this and other questions.

And I will begin with the fact that the question itself: "What is the meaning of life?" Has no answer. Because the most correct answer: "the meaning of life in life itself", as a rule, is not accepted. Therefore, I suggest, first find yourself. And only then, myself in this life. In any case, it helped me.

In my search I started with simple, understandable questions: "What exactly do I want?", "What do I like?", "What do I want to do?", Etc.

It happens, it is not easy to answer yourself to such questions. Because we have been taught all our lives to restrain our desires, to hide them. Here they are hidden. Yes, at times, so deep that it takes time for digging!

Let's say you understand what you want. At the same time, it turned out that it is difficult to afford to act at will. Firstly, it is scary (sometimes so), and secondly, "it does not matter." Thus, the first obstacle on the way to yourself is to overcome your fears and stereotypes.

In fact, there is nothing shameful in allowing yourself to be what you are! Believe me, from the fact that you just relax and begin to listen to yourself, start fulfilling your desires, nothing terrible will happen! But, by allowing your own merits and demerits to manifest yourself, you thereby open your real path to excellence!

Overcoming the stereotype "it does not matter" depends on reassessing your values. Now for you the most important person is yourself! Only you can live your life the way you want, only you can fulfill your desires in the best way. And only you are given to understand the meaning of your life. All "should", "must" and other duties, of course, can not be completely forgotten. But they must take their niche in your value system, AFTER your personal needs. Of course, with a normal person, such a statement of the question will cause a lot of contradictions. On this topic you can read the article by E. Fromm about self-love. Its meaning boils down to the fact that an egoist is not someone who does not like others, it's someone who does not love himself. You will not argue with a recognized philosopher, sociologist and psychoanalyst?

Let's say you went through the first difficult stage. And they allowed themselves to do what they liked. But here there are still a number of obstacles. Everyone has these obstacles. They are involved in the need to overcome all those imperfections that interfere with or do not succeed in their work, achieve their goals. Thus, your next task: to overcome all internal obstacles on the way to success, to recognition. Again, a lot of difficulties, challenges, overcoming and working on yourself. And without this in any way.

In all this process it is important to learn calmness and relaxation, acceptance. Without these basic skills, you will not be able to move forward.

And when you found the strength to open up before yourself, to recognize yourself, to understand yourself, to satisfy and to please yourself when you are on the path to success (or have already achieved it), then it is advisable to raise the question: "What is the meaning of my life?" Or, how interesting is some "What is my benefit to humanity?" (If you have not yet received an answer to these questions ...)

The question "what is my benefit to humanity?" Has the answer: "my benefit is that I am. I appeared on this earth according to the will of God, hence, it already had a meaning. In addition, I am doing my own thing. People see my work and appreciate it. And that means I'm already doing good. " The first time I repeated these words to myself as a mantra. Until I believed it.

And again, finding peace, relaxation.

Until the answer comes. This can be the current situation in life. When you, being in a relaxed state, chose the most faithful and harmonious way and realized that this is exactly your road. It can be a clue from the book, the announcer's statement on television. The answer can come from everywhere. And he comes in the form of simple knowledge: "This is mine."

And then everything develops into an understandable and simple picture. "I live to work on myself, to improve my soul. The meaning of my life in life itself. " And now these words for you are not an empty phrase, but endless wisdom and a deep understanding of the greatest meaning of your life ...

I wish good luck in your search!
