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.
