What if you’re not tho? What if you’re at the beginning?

Thank you!

I'm reading it after a very difficult time in my life too. It's amazing

how can I stand up again, if I never went down?

I get the impression that you lost your mojo, your thrill/desire & no motivation to find a new one. It's all about perspective. Kinda of fake it til you make it. I wake up every morning & count all my blessings. Even if i don't feel like it. Really changed my outlook The good is there, we just have to take the time to find it

Who said you couldn't be helpful? Knowing one isn't alone in something is a big big help! Also i have had many good answers to this post so i recommend you check some of them out. Also if you wanna talk I'm always available, just send a DM. Wish you all the best

I feel this. I feel like a floating buoy in the middle of the ocean.

I'm nearly 20 and in university, but I have no idea what I want to do with my future. my life feels like it has no purpose. like I'm just keeping afloat. But apparently, this is normal for people my age. I want to bring some change into my life, but I'm finding that difficult to achieve. I hope you manage to find your way out of this state of mind, sorry I couldn't be helpful.

I think you should go for spiritual healing because it's best way

You're welcome! This is awesome and you're not even the first one telling me this post helped!! Just the fact that we can help others is a great motivation, even more when you see results. Much love my friend ❤️❤️

Yeah bill Hicks is a great inspiration for me

A really good quote MLK never said it sadly

Try going to church and meeting some people there? (I’m evangelical and it’s a big part of what gives me meaning)

In the grand scheme of things, life is exactly what you make of it. You apply meaning and we find ways to meander about till we die.

The meaning of life is to give your life meaning.

Thank you for reminding that I am not late in life. I appreciate you!

The Alchemist is a great book. It’s a quick read too. I read it while incarcerated. Definitely a must read.

If I only chose actions that lifted me I would never get down

I understand this feeling very much. A lot of people feel the same especially since covid. The meaning of life is its the beginning stage where we develop our soul and learn the brunt of our lessons. From a science standpoint life is supposed to be balanced. Half good, half bad. Everything's balanced hot cold, up down, left right but since the pandemic everything is unbalanced and also disproportionately unfair. Wealth gaps, over worked and draining the good from everyone so that a small portion of individuals can have excess good and barely any bad. They cause the vast majority of problems and you in one way or another are probably victim in at least one way. Find purpose in loving the innocence of animals and wild animals who need extra love because they're so neglected by society. Find peace in nature and be one with the universe. It will help I promise. Find a beautiful trail and listen to the birds, bring them food and love them because they aren't rotten like people.

I thank you for making this post. There’s so much positivity and inspiration in the comments. What you don’t know is you just helped me without knowing it. That should give you another outlook on your purpose. I can’t say how you feel but some things I can definitely relate to. Again thank you and I thank the people who have gave me reason from reading their comments 😊

I don't think you lack meaning, I think you lack direction. I look at Tony Robbins who was working as a Janitor before he started his self-help work. Now he's worth millions. I'm sure you have something to give back to others, it just hasn't occurred to you.

I would try and find something that you enjoy doing … like drawing or painting or even working out. I really hope you find something that awakens something inside you to come alive. Maybe even travel and see other ways of life. Good luck and I wish you the best!

Hugs! You matter, ok? Cause I feel the same.
