Do This To Make Your Life Meaningful

Nothing.

You’re welcome for the answer!

Just that sentence alone should be reason enough for you to think (pun intended).

When you say what you ‘should’ do it shows that you have not thought about it long enough to come up with an answer yourself.

All that you know is that, whatever you’re doing now, is not it.

This is totally fine, but expecting others to answer it for you is not.

Everyone else will only be able to lead you to their path, which isn’t yours. It will not make your life meaningful.

If you ask me you should be a coach! You should help others, make the world a better place and give life your all.

Do nothing.

But chances are it won’t captivate you as much as it does me, meaning you won’t be able to put in the same energy into it and gain the same output that I did.

Now, I know saying you should do nothing is more of a slap in the face than it is actually helpful, but I want you to take me seriously.

Don’t try to make something happen.

Don’t expect to find something.

Don’t even look for anything that could make your life meaningful.

Humor me and just drop it all for a bit.

What do you want?

Drop all your expectations, desires, and every concept you have of a meaningful life.

What do you want?

And then, in the simplest, easiest way possible, ask yourself this:

Don’t try to lead it anywhere, don’t expect anything from the answer, it’s just to humor me.

What do you want?

Whatever answer you come up with, do exactly that and only that.

Think about posing this question to a child and answer in a similarly innocent way with no attachments or expectations!

When you chase your desires in this fashion you allow yourself to go for what you want without putting any restrictions on this.

When you stop caring, when you don’t have any expectation of what you should do and when you allow yourself the freedom to desire anything and everything, your passion really grows!

Over time this will lead to your true passion.

Every restriction you put on yourself adds another layer of confusion to you, or rather, it adds the expectations of other people to your path.
