Life does not have any meaning, it’s you as an individual that creates the meaning to life depending on your perception or how you choose to live the life that has been given to you to experience.

life comes with many struggles, that is true. it may seem pointless, and in many ways. but you have to look past that, and see that there is more to life. there is so much to see, so much to expierence. sure life seems a little tough right now but whos to say it wont get better? you just have to look past all the bad.. and see the good

Find and do the things or activities that makes you smile, laugh and makes you feel good. Something that you look forward to doing the next morning and the next day, and the day after. Find those activities that resonates with your soul.

Finding meaning in your life can be done if you try to think about things that matter to you, things that you wouldn't give up on your life for. That's when you find the meaning of your life. It can be different things. Sometimes is as simple as just being you. But that means that you live your life as yourself and that you don't give up until you've achieved something that makes you feel happy and satisfied. It can be the smallest thing. The greatness doesn't matter really. What matters is you. You are the meaning of your life.

Sometimes the purpose or meaning of life is to be happy and contented with who you are and to live without judgement and prejudice.

Think of a time when you were the happiest you ever were. I know it might be very difficult, but just think hard. Now use that as motivation to find meaning and live for that happy moment.

Do nice things for the people you love. Find things that you're good at and find ways to do them more often. Appreciate the good things in your life, even if they're small.

Well one cannot do something well if they don't know why they are doing it. Same with life you cannot live life without knowing why you are alive. So what i think is that we have to keep living watch things carefully and we will eventually find meaning the meaning of life is not one specific thing it differs from one person to another from one perspective to another. Whether is to be happy, doing what we love, feeling that connection with someone, or to understand others ....or living to help others with their troubles and making my the life of everyone better. Life has a meaning all you need to do is to watch carefully and you will find it in pain, suffering , laughs , even in death it self.

Every one of us is unique, thankfully. We find happiness in stuff we like and doing things we like, we create our own meaning to life.
