Everday when you wake up, think of three things you're thankful for. Smile, everything gets better. It's still not the end of everything.

You can find meaning in your life through many different means. One of my favorites is by helping others. Helping others makes them feel good and you feel good about yourself. I would suggest volunteering at an animal shelter or a soup kitchen, or cleaning your house and donating everything you would normally throw away that others could use.

You can find meaning in life by finding a hobby you enjoy, like sports. If hobbies don't help, find someone to listen to you, and support you whenever you feel sad. You should also make sure that you tell yourself every day that you are amazing, no matter what anyone else says. You are the meaning of your life.

start by doing the things you love. by being with the people you love. try to find a spark of happiness and light it. Don't be around people who put you down and if in a case you have to be do not let it get to you. You can consider asking others or looking on line for others experiences as well

Pack two sets of clothes. Get the tickets and travel to the himalayas.
Try rock climbing and reach a tall spot. Look down and spot all the details.
If you can jump and yet live you'll not need a further meaning.
If you however you don't get it,
Life goes on, it never ends !
One life ends another begins.
We live we die, your life my life all the same.
The meaning if you wanna find out .... like I said, you gotta live a thousand years in the himalayas.

For me, sitting down and thinking about my likes and dislikes got me to branch out and join some clubs and outside activities. Personally, that was theatre, but everyone is different! Get out there nd try new things!

Adopt or spend more time with a pet. Raising an animal can make you feel responsible and as though your life has purpose/meaning!
