What does it take to have a meaningful life? Money? Love? Adventure? Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide what will give your life meaning. Arguably, there’s no inherent meaning to life. That might scare some people, but it’s actually great news. You can choose what is meaningful to you.

While it’s an individual decision, there are a few common starting points. The real individuality comes from how you choose to apply them.

Consider these crucial aspects of life to create a fulfilling life that has meaning:

1. Evolution. It’s a little sad when someone reaches the pinnacle of their life at 35 and coasts to the end. To have a meaningful life, it’s important to grow and evolve. Otherwise, you’ll feel as if you’ve wasted your life. You’ll wonder what you could have accomplished with a little more time and attention.

◦ How have you changed over the last 10 years? What do you know now that you didn’t know then? What can you do now that you couldn’t do then? What new skills have you developed? How has your view of the world changed?

2. Purpose. Everyone needs a purpose. We all know of someone that died shortly after retiring. Studies have shown that even something as simple as taking care of a plant extends the lifespan of those living in nursing homes. Fortunately, you can have a purpose without having to go to work for the rest of your life!

◦ Volunteering is a simple way to make a meaningful contribution that can make life worth living.

◦ You just need someone or something to serve. What is important to you? How can you contribute in a way that you believe is meaningful?

3. Belonging to a group. It can be a large family, an extensive network of friends, a church, where you work, a club of some sort, or any other type of organization. We all need to belong to a group and to be accepted by the other members of that group.

◦ Where is your tribe? Without a group, we tend to feel ignored and unappreciated.

◦ If you don’t have a tribe to call your own, go out and find one. You could even start your own.

4. A meeaningful past. Over time, we all develop a past. One of the worst outcomes of a long life is to look back on a past that we regret. A past of squandered opportunities is sure to make you cringe when you look back on your life. We all want to have a great story to tell and share.

◦ What kind of story will you have? What stories do you have to share right now?

◦ How have you lived the last 10 years? How will you live the next 10?

5. Value experiences and relationships over possessions. Our society is perhaps the most materialistic on Earth. Our society also doesn’t rank anywhere near the top for happiness. That’s a strong clue that possessions aren’t all that meaningful.

◦ How much enjoyment have you gotten from purchasing something expensive? How long did that enjoyment last? Did it give your life meaning?

◦ Ensure that you’re spending enough time on accumulating experiences and meaningful relationships. The Ferrari will mean less to you than you think.

What is meaningful to you? How do you need to live in order to believe your life is meaningful? In what ways do you need to grow and contribute to feel that your time on Earth has meaning?

You can choose what will give your life meaning. It’s entirely in your hands, but it’s important to make a conscious choice.

Change Your Attitude, Change Your Life! When your life goes in a direction that you'd rather not experience, it's often hard to deal with the challenge. You try many different ways to get yourself on the right track, but nothing you're doing seems to work. Does that sound familiar? If it does, you've undoubtedly noticed that having the ideal life isn't always easy to come by. However, enjoying a fulfilling life has very little to do with how your cards are dealt, but rather how you play them. As the saying goes, "Life is 1% what happens to you and 99% how you deal with it." How you deal with life's situations ultimately determines your quality of life. The attitude you display in any circumstance will inevitably impact the outcome of it. But you're probably wondering, "How else am I supposed to react to a negative event than to feel negatively about it?" Let's take a look at an example and how a change in attitude can improve your situation: The Traffic Scenario Let's say you're driving and you're about to come upon an amber light, which you'd rather not stop at because you're late. So you speed up and actually run through the red light instead, and end up being stopped by a police officer, who is now writing you a ticket. You're angry and annoyed because you're late for a meeting at the office. Your anger overflows and you suddenly start to shove the police officer. As a result, you get a second ticket for assaulting an officer. Your negative attitude has resulted in receiving two tickets instead of one, and you're still late for the meeting! Let's look at how a change in attitude could have impacted the outcome for the better: * Leaving home a little earlier would have bought you enough time so you wouldn't have to speed through the light in the first place. * Stopping at the yellow light would have resulted in a two-minute delay instead of the 20-minute delay you experienced with the police officer! * Accepting your wrong-doing and acknowledging it to the police officer could have resulted in leniency with the first offense. You might have gotten off without a ticket at all. * Containing your anger would definitely have prevented the ticket for the second offense. * You're now down at least $200, which you were planning to use to complete your credit card payments. A more positive attitude would have saved some money and enabled you to follow through on your credit card payment plan. That example clearly shows how a change in attitude can significantly change the outcome of a situation you're thrown into - or one which you've created all on your own! It is instinctual to want to respond to the tone of a situation with an equal tone. But when that tone's negative, you'll almost always end up being worse off. The minute you start to change your attitude towards life's challenges, you'll start to feel accomplished at the end of a challenge as opposed to feeling conquered by it. When you remember that you have the power to choose your reaction, you'll have the power to determine the outcome of a situation! If your ultimate goal in life is to be truly happy, stop and take a look at how much control you have over most outcomes. Once you have stopped long enough to realize that only you can determine how happy you feel, you'll automatically start making the choices and attitude adjustments that will help you achieve that happiness!
