Finding meaning in one's life when there's no goal is really hard, especially when you set your limit and give up. My say on this would be to explore oneself and find our dream. The one thing which would make our lives happy and good. Set up goals and take up discipline as a lifestyle. A little flunking is okay, a little party too. But, my friend, I can surely say that there is a limit to it. Don't exceed it. Remember though, there is no limit to dreaming. The limit is not the sky, the science or the whole damn universe. It's your mentality.

The meaning of life is open to interpretation. Consider the people that love and care for you, consider the lives you have touched and those who have touched yours. Your meaningfulness is not based on your success, achievements, ranks, scores, etc. it is based on much more than that. You were brought into this world for a reason. Think about the things you enjoy, no matter how big or small. These things matter to you. You matter to this world. You are loved. You are wonderful and deserving.

Perhaps start to write things you hate in your life and write down all the things that you've enjoyed in life and things you might want to try; hobbies, be they creative, physcial challenges; volunteering;or joining a social group or any other things you might fancy doing? Its exciting to try new things.! And life feels more enjoyable its easy to get into a rut and feel bored by life. You dont have to spend lots of money always!

I think we all feel that we want our life to have more purpose at one time or another. When I feel that way, I find a way to help someone. I think human contact is important in giving our life meaning. It helps to give of yourself

I have grappled with this same thing. It is tough! It is rough! "What am I? Why am I here?" I know those questions well.
I will say this: If you search, you will find meaning. But you can also make meaning. This is your power as a human being. Apart from you, Life is meaningless. This is not something to be down about. Life just is. It's not good nor bad, not right nor wrong, just is.
Here is an act for you: On the next beautiful day, sun shining, blue sky, go find a tree. It can be any tree, but you will know which one when you see it. Have a blanket with you, if you want, and ask this tree if you may sit in the shade beneath it. Feel the tree, feel it answer you, "Of course." And sit. Sit and listen to the tree, its leaves, the birds in its branches... Is there meaning here? You tell me.
Peace :-)

See you got to know the real you when you are alone and feel depressed the best thing about now is you are at a point in life where you don't have anything to lose so whatever you do will only be counted as bonus not a loss .So start a fresh

You can always find the meaning of life behind nature , the circle of life , that every little tiny detail happens for a reason. Or behind the smile of the ones you love.

You can find the meaning of your life by loving yourself and finding out your passion. Besides, try to find happiness and satisfaction in even the smallest things. Hope it will help.
