How to Live a Meaningful Life?

If you have somewhat understood why you exist, or are merely looking for some guidance on how to live a meaningful life, think of these ways of life:

1. Spend what you have earned on you and your family wisely.
If you earned a lot, do not spend too much of the extras on you or your family pleasures. It's fine to spend some to relax your mind and body, but NEVER too often or too much. Even if you need to save for your future, do not save until you cannot help others.


2. Make a commitment to donate your savings to others on monthly basis.
Do not be stingy on this. Do not give yourself excuses not to make such commitment. You will have thousands reason to save for yourself or your family, but remember that you are living in the present, and not for the future. Your meaningful life is determined by what you have done in the past and what you do now, NOT what you are going to do in the future. Do not be too worry about your future and have faith in God that He will give what is best for you.


3. Use your talents to the max.
Give the best out of your talents. Do not waste the talents given to you. It does not matter whether your talents earn you a lot of money or not. But if your talents can bring a lot of money to you, go for it, do not hesitate (as long as you are earning it in a righteous way). But after you earned so much, remember point no.1 and no.2.

Finding the true meaning of your life?

This writing is only meaningful if you believe that God exist.

Q: Who am I living for?
A: I'm living for God.

Q: How should I live the life for God?
A: Love thy neighbors. This means to love people around me, including but not limited to my family. This part is hard and has never been easy, but it is not impossible. One thing that I've been keeping in mind is that all of us are the children of God, so we are actually brothers and sisters. So treat others like member of the family.

Life is actually quite simple, if we are able to see through all the complex illusions.

Here are the key thinking that could help us see through the complexity of such illusions:
1. Life is temporary; there is a fix amount of time given to each and everyone. We MUST die one day. So we HAVE TO be really WISE in using our time, remember: the amount of time given is FINITE.

2. Basically what we are really looking for is happiness. Money seems to be the only key. But the truth is we need money ONLY to survive (i.e to have just enough food and shelter). To be happy, money is not needed. Look at the people and things (animals, flowers, green grass, buildings, etc.) around you, appreciate and enjoy their goodness and you will be able to find happiness there.

3. If there is one thing in this world that we can ask from God, we should ask for a GRACE EXIT (i.e. to die in peace and without any physical suffering). That is the greatest bless. Many of us are working for monies and saving hard just because we are afraid of the sickness in old days.
So pray to Him for such "EXIT" and put in conscious efforts to achieve it (that is to take good care of your health by eating correctly and exercise enough). The key here is really to BALANCE what you need to save for your sickness LATER and what you need to contribute to help others NOW(while you are healthy and young).

You should live your MEANINGFUL life NOW and NOT for the future.
