To find meaning & purpose to our life can be the potent ingredient that keeps us going when the seas of life feel turbulent and rough. If we can find a higher meaning to our challenges and recognise that growth comes from stretching ourselves mentally , physically and creatively we can be better equipped to triumph over whatever life sends us. We can get meaning from being needed by others, by contributing beyond our own hedonistic pleasure or by feeling connected to something bigger then ourselves & through stretching & learning new skills. These pursuits give depth & meaning over time that is measurable over more obvious ‘superficial pleasures’
There is what happens in life then the story and meaning we choose to give it. The story we create, how we react and the choices and decisions we make as a consequence will determine how our lives unfold. I have met many people through My-Makeover charitable initiative who have chosen a greater meaning to their suffering realising if they can’t change what happened they can have control over how they react and what they do. Through this they have gone on to be the trailblazers and game changers that contribute beyond themselves and change lives in the process. Do you have a commitment to something bigger then yourself? Do you engage in activities that stretch you? Do you have a philosophy for life that helps you experience life in a more meaningful way?
