How to Find What’s Meaningful in Your Life
You have a deeper connection with yourself and the people you surround yourself with when you have greater significance in your life. You feel more fulfilled, as if you have a purpose, and you have more positive energy. Here are some pointers to help you discover what is more meaningful in your life.
What’s it Mean to Have a Meaningful Life?

Do you have any doubts about whether or not you are having a meaningful life? Here are a few things to look out for. You can become so accustomed to your everyday routine that you lose sight of your mission. Here are a few factors that will tell you that you’ve built a meaningful life:
- Being productive without trying
- Having continued self-confidence and a high self-esteem
- Feeling high, positive energy radiating through you
- Being able to handle challenges and setbacks without missing a beat
- Having a healthy lifestyle, both mentally and physically
- Feeling more than content with your life, but overjoyed
Having a meaningful life does not imply having a flawless existence or always being cheerful, but rather a sense of contentment, knowing that all will work out in the end. You feel like you’re on the right track and have a goal, which makes you feel a lot better than if you don’t believe your life has enough significance.
Be More Self-Aware
You may believe you know what makes you happy, but it’s often what makes other people happy or what you believe you should be happy about. Being more self-aware, on the other hand, can help you figure out what actually makes you happy and add purpose to your life.
Starting a journal and writing down how you feel after various activities is an easy method to achieve this. Work, sleep, hanging out with friends, going for a walk or hike, playing with your kids, working on a creative project, reading, or anything else you do on a daily basis can all be examples.
If you want to see if a new hobby provides you joy and passion, become more self-aware of your feelings and thoughts during and after it.
Discover Your Purpose
Different things provide different people with a sense of purpose. Some people achieve it by pursuing their passions and developing a creative spark, while others desire relaxing days spent with people they enjoy spending time with. You might discover your calling through your work and achievements, or by assisting others and becoming a philanthropist. There are no incorrect responses!
Again, keeping a journal is a terrific approach to start figuring out what you want to do with your life. The most clarity will come through daily stream of consciousness diary entries, in which you write whatever comes to mind and let your thoughts flow spontaneously.
