[@harvey9290]

Finding meaning in life is like finding the meaning of a forest or the sea or a mountain. It has no intrinsic meaning, yet it has beauty and use and perhaps purpose. Your life doesn't need to have meaning or a reason. You just need to realise your attributes and see what you can do with them.

[@overnightgrowth]

The frustrating irony of the backwards law at play in life as always. Personally, I have trouble with seeming paradoxes and not clear-cut answers but that's what life is made of, a series of seeming paradoxes. The more you chase riches, the poorer you feel. The more you need meaning, the less you currently have. And on and on it goes. The trick is, and I'm still working on it, is to find a place in the middle of those paradoxes and just be.

It was alot easier to be happy as a kid.

Been trying to find any sort of meaning or purpose for the last few years

You're only 24! You have a lifetime ahead of you to do whatever makes you feel good 👍 ✨! Start exploring the possibilities ✨ that 💪 are in front 😀 of you. Above all be happy 😊 😃!

[@mysterical-]

Learn what sets you apart from others, find out your values, strengths and wants that'll suit a particular career, its never too late. (Enneagram and MBTI are good starting points to figure out such aspects as well as your motivations) Simply watching and following along with others, fuels the attachment to the desire of acquiring purpose when you view others as having one already, which is what keeps us stuck (as you may have took away from the video) All in all, it takes experience to figure things out and we're all going through that process together. So lets put of of this burden aside and do what we can to make it feel like play to untangle ourselves from needing to have purpose.

Man I wish to have a sit down convo with you some day. This video says SO MUCH. I’ve always learned from my 4 year old, since the day he started to crawl. This makes SO MUCH sense!!! The question arises though… do we balance?? At what point do we have desires and start to map out plans and strategies? How serious and committed do we become to those plans and strategies?? Where do we draw the line between “living” for the sake of living and paying bills? 🤔

This is why I liked one of the latest Disney Pixar movies Soul. It discusses enjoying the “jazz” of life, the ups, downs, and the things you don’t expect. That’s truly what life is about, rather than obsessing of finding a grand purpose and getting sad because you don’t have one. Fire video bro

I really like this! Comes at a good time too. I am a competitive (and old) cyclist and I often struggle as to why I cycle and what is the purpose, etc. What great thing am I doing? I often get so wrapped up in my thoughts that I don't enjoy the experience as much as I should. Maybe cycling for the shear health benefits and fun should be enough. If something bigger comes from it, then great but I don't have to save the world every time I go riding. Although I have saved some gopher tortoises trying to cross the road on occasion. :)

Child's subconscious "goal" is to get to know the new reality around them and to experience it, preferably from the good side. This is why children, especially younger ones are so intrigued and fascinated and happy when something new or entertaining happens. The problem is that the older we get, the more we get "bored" of day to day life... That is why people like holidays/vacation abroad or somewhere else than their usual home I guess... So, that they can change their environment for a certain period of time and experience something new, like a young child. ;)

[@AviKumarYT]

This is so insightful. Now I know what I want to do.

[@NarcOfTheCovenant]

I used to believe in this very philosophy..years ago... when I used to do things "just to do them" or for the fun of it, or because I genuinely loved to do them, especially if it was work-related. Now, I've been sucked into the dreary meaningless existence as everyone else, because I needed to find work to 'pay the bills' (I'm trying to move out for the first time in YEARS and rent is $$$$!) and so what am I to do? Several days at work, I leave my job, and my heart's not fully in it - and I leave wanting more, like something is missing. I'm doing it for the money, on some level. And I'm just as lost, because I don't know what else to do - or moreso even, what else I can do, that I can do because I WANT to do it, not because 'I have to' or 'need to'... in order to 'live'. It must sound like crazy logic to a young child, and young children probably do seem confused by what many grown up adults and parents do for their daily lives, or their jobs... and there you can feel the soul-sucking drain of it all. And what we really need Andrew - is not just to be reminded of this - but help in actually finding WHAT in our lives will feel like play again? When you're so worn out from it all, and I'm only 38 - how do I find it again? Believe in it again? And actualize it in my life while I'm still living my 'boring life', surrounded by boring people, with meaningless conversations, going nowhere, achieving nothing, sparking nothing in my heart or soul. There must be a way...

Great points but how do you get there? What steps do you take to stop overthinking and finding meaning in life and simply just “be” or “play”. How does one shut off the voices of “what is this all for”.

[@shubham5399]

It's funny how a meaningful life doesn't need to have a meaning. I liked how you transitioned from chasing higher productivity to living a more meaningful life. A similar transition I noticed in Nathniel Drew and myself. Sometimes I think I am privileged to just live without working. Like you, I am also working on my personal projects which is earning decent revenue (not vlogging or blogging). Life was chaotic but slowly I allowed myself to relax and enjoy the beautiful world. I slow down my work and started writing and reading more. I don't know where my life is going but you and Drew gives me hope that I am not alone in this. Thanks for sharing. Please let me know if you (anyone reading this comment) have any disagreement with what I just said. Let's all grow together. Love from India :)

[@benjaminstephenson3814]

What things or messages helped you slow down, relax, and enjoy the world?

[@shubham5399]

​@@benjaminstephenson3814 I am a programmer and I was spending more than half of my waking time in front of a screen. So I took a break from that. By relaxing I meant doing nothing. Absolutely nothing. It's helping me reduce the constant buzzing of my mind. I always was a workaholic and it used to make me guilty even if I wasted a day binge watching Netflix or just sleeping. I realized I was a little harsh on myself. So, I just stopped chasing my goals, because no matter what, there's always going to be a next milestone. Slow down can mean differently to different people that's why I briefly shared my story here. I still have a lot to do but I am taking it slow. Taking life as a marathon and not a sprint. Make sense?

[@ppolleunus]

I completely agree with that… sadly, I don't manage to apply it 🤷‍♂️ Here's why… At the beginning of your life, you know/have lived "nothing"; so it's easier to enjoy simple things and discover new ones. With time, you become used to it and can become bored. And a major difference between a toddler and an adult, is that parents take care of the shitty parts (the main ones being money, legal and administrative tasks). The main problem I always have, as I'm not adapted to the way the world currently works[*], is that society forces me to do things I don't want to do before being able to do what I would enjoy… and that's if society allows me to even do that thing in the first place!

[@ppolleunus]

(off topic, delete this if inappropriate… I've to express this 🙄😂) [*] The main reason being that the "money concept" (i.e. keeping accounts between us) is an archaic, obsolete, primitive way of living in society that blocks our true evolution… and that is the root cause of basically all the problems (created by human beings) (ask yourself enough why, thinking out of the box with an open mind). We have reach enough knowledge and technologies to make Earth an amazing life environment. It's time for us to reinvent society, from scratch, putting aside what exists and asking ourselves: With our current knowledge and technologies, if we wanted to create the best society we can, what would it be? And from there, we'll find how to do it… but it'll take several centuries… and therefore, we won't be there to enjoy it… but it has to be done, sooner the better!

This video came at the perfect time. I recently had the epiphany that perhaps it IS enough to be healthy. I don't need to continue lifting heavy weights at the gym. Running is enough. I don't need to keep taking cold showers. Luke-warm is enough. I don't need to learn every language or to master every skill in the whole wide world. Nor do I need to eat healthy all of the time. The occasional can of soda/bowl of ice cream won't kill me.

The video is good but a bit naïve you can afford this mindset because you don't have to worry about food and paying bills anymore with all the money you made but for most people the purpose is determined by necessity : the need for food... the advice should rather be to be the change you want to see in the world that is how you find meaning and concerning happiness which is a different topic embrace necessity and be realistically ambitious (complex and need explanations).

If there is no meaning what keeps these individuals alive to reach the end of their expiration date into late or early adulthood depending on genetics and enviormental factors ? If there is no meaning why feel empathy when the young and helpless are stolen from their time and life on this planet is it just a sign of respect at this point ? Would this motion even render respect meaninglessness if it all falls to living simply b/c there is nothing else to do but to wait and die till we are eternally forgotten

The meaning of life is serving our creator, Jesus Christ. Knowing the meaning of life is in the Lord gets rid of the burden of wondering about it all the time, while not running away from the fact that there truly is meaning. Living for Him and according to the individual plan He has for each of us, will provide the must fulfilling. He thinks of each of us and individually makes plans for us. Finding that plan and living it is the most purposeful life there is. 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

To be 100% honest I frankly believe the right for one to shed their mortal coil on dignified, painless terms should be a human right. Life is a human right. So to should be a Dignified Death. Not everyone HAS to find meaning or keep trucking. Frankly, I believe it is okay for people to decide "I dont want to do this anymore" and move on to the next world. Life, all of the universe is inherently, meaningless. Things only have meaning when we give them meaning based on what we say we want.
