Is Your Life Meaningful?

Something which motivates me a great deal is growing old with
regret.  I don’t want to look back on my life wishing I had done more … things with meaning … wishing I hadn’t hurt this or that person … or rebuilding relationships with those I did.

Regret can be scary.

And the only way to live without regret is to find a way to make
life truly meaningful.  So how do we do that?  How do we make each moment count?  Here are some thoughts.

Make life about others

One of the most important things any of us can do is to make our
life about other people.  So much of our world is self-centered.
 We’re brought up to believe that we’re more important than everyone else, and that we need to take care of our own needs and wants first.

But after a while – some people sooner than later – we realize
that we feel empty.  That’s, by the way, when many of us have a midlife crisis … because we realize we’ve spent so much of our lives working to make
ourselves happy … and we aren’t.
