Living a life and living a meaningful life is different. Living a life means we are accepting the things as they are, whether it is good or bad we are satisfied, we have no goals, no purpose overall you are not contributing anything to yourself and the world. Living a meaningful life means you are living it on your conditions, you do the things that really makes you happy and you contribute to the world. You are not just passing the days on earth you are actually living it.
1- Realize what you want
Remind yourself your dreams when you were not adult or teenage, what you really wanted to be but now you are stuck in this life. Start living your dreams. Don’t just do the work; find the purpose for your work. You should know to what you are dedicating your life and it should be worth your life and time.
2- Don’t think about the people
Under social pressure we are stuck in the monotonous and boring life. W are always worries that what people will think if I’ll do this or how they will react if I’ll do this, stop thinking about it. There would be always some people who would not like your work and never appreciate whatever you do. Chase your dream and live your life to the fullest, don’t worry about them.
3- Stop controlling your emotions
Allow yourself to experience pain; fear, etc. don’t expect everything ready-made. Taking all your feelings regardless of their nature, you will be able to recognize in time what causes stress, discomfort, anxiety and other reactions. Soon you will make a weapon with which you can overcome all life’s difficulties and move forward confidently.
4- Take responsibility
We are so afraid of taking any huge responsibility on ourselves because we think that we cannot handle it. And other reason is we don’t want criticism, because criticism has dual effects- it can makes you feel like loser or it gives you chance to know your mistakes and we always think of first option. Take a chance and take responsibility.
5- Be the change you want to see in the world
It’s always easy to sit in group and discuss the political situation of the country and saying that if I would be prime minister or president I would have done that or this. If you think that you can be a good and better politician then why don’t you give it a try, you can change the world.
Another example, don’t scold your employees for coming late if you yourself is not on time. First, you change yourself and then ask your colleagues and employees.
