Looking for a hobby is a simple way to find enjoyment even when things may seem bleak. Try doing new things, and see if any interest you. There are a million things to try, and even trying them can make you feel like you are working towards a goal

This one of the most important questions, yet one of the hardest to answer. I have no idea, and I guess no one has. I know my life's meaning, and I think this is the single most important factor in my well being. Yet, although I think my purpose ((walking through a path which increases mine and other's happiness and well-being) is one that would fit many and could be embraced by others, ultimately it is anyone's own choice and task to figure out what would be the meaning that suits you. Unfortunately, this is the one thing in life, I guess, where we can't find an instruction manual. On the bright side, once we find it, the rewards are great and anything else after would be much easier to figure out

That is a question only you can answer. You must search for what you love, and stick with it. What makes you happy can be your meaning for life. It can be anything, big or small

My go to method when I start to feel worthless is to meditate. I'll sit for a while and reflect on things I have done, successes, friends, family, and even failures. I'll prioritize things in my life. Another way I do this is to look at old pictures of things. This often reminds you of what you strive for.

Learn how to love yourself. Don't be afraid of what people are going to say , because you can never make everyone happy. You have to treat people the way you want to be treated. What you have inside is much more beautiful than the outside.

Think of what truly matters to you. Any hobbies? Anything that gives you joy? Any talents of yours? Any moments in your life where you experienced happiness through accomplishment? If not, then you are still finding yourself. Try going out in nature, exploring different activities, etc.

By surrounding yourself with positive things! Things that you love, people who are good and caring, and content that is encouraging and meaningful. But you have to decide what the meaning of your life is, because someone else's meaning of life might be different than yours. The only way you can find it though is to work in seeking it out.
