Searching for the meaning of life is not very uncommon. We may not pretty much talk about this but more or less we try to find out the meaning. Especially when someone goes through hard times, trauma, or some unexpected experiences. It can be our love relationship, our career, losing someone, or anything which leads us to start thinking about this. Or it may simply our curious mind to know deep about life.
Whatever it is, there are ways that can help us to find the meaning of life. Before talking about this, I must say this is a complicated thing to explain. And as our lives are so different so there's no ninja technique actually but you have to relate this to your own life.
Asking ourselves questions about our understanding of life is the simple yet best way to find the meaning. You will notice how different questions pops in your mind randomly. Take some time to understand 'what your understanding about life'. 'What you want from life' and 'what you meant to do to make it meaningful'?
Ask yourself,
What you think adds value in life?
How was your overall experience about life?
How do you define happiness and pain?
What do you think about personal growth?
How you are adding value in other's life?
There are endless questions like these that can help you to understand 'what life really means to you and how you are doing in life. When you get these answers, there's no need to tell you will get a clear idea about the meaning of life. And surely this process will change the way you see, analyze, and experience life.
These are truly some of the most important questions we can ask. All of humanity is affected by each other, one way or another; every word, every action, every decision we make goes far beyond our immediate sphere.
That is one of the things that really defines us as humans and not animals; our action impact each other in ways that go far beyond the everyday hunt for food or mates. And you'll never see an animal philosophizing about its existence :) .
Sorry if that sounds crude or awkward: just wanted to put in my two cents. :)
