How do you live a meaningful #life?
I got asked this question today by a friend!
I thought deeply about it as I always do when people ask me such questions!
I stood there in complete silence thinking: What about this #question? Hmm what's wrong with this question?
Then I thought of a different question that I constantly ask myself: how can I become a #better person?
Hardly anyone ever asks this question but if you want to answer the first one which is "how do you live a meaningful life?" You actually have to start answering, as best as you can, the second one which is "how can I become a better person"
Well first of all you must determine where you are heading in #life because you cannot get there unless you move in that direction. We are built to #walk uphill and when you reach the peak of one #mountain and you appreciate the view, the next thing you immediately want is a higher mountain to climb in the distance.
This means that all the positive #emotions we feel are experienced in relationship of a #goal!
In some sense you want to set a goal that you can never attain so that you can always move closer to reach it. As you pursue that goal, you put yourself together, you become more determined and you start noticing that your life does get better, #richer and more #exciting.
Therefore, always remember to #say what you mean, #challenge yourself, step out of your #comfortzone, #learn something new, be #curious, be #disciplined and #consistent, act out what you say. Pay attention, note your errors, articulate them and strive to correct them. Specify your destination and chart your course. Tell those around you who you are, #gaze attentively and move forward forthrightly.
Many years ago I decided to pursue my dream of working towards the protection of #tropical#forests from #deforestation, the #restoration of #degraded lands and the support of #local#communities. I strive to improve as a human being and I try to give my contribution to make our #planet, our #home a better place for me, for the people I #love and for my future #kids!
In the end we are here to live, not to sleep!
