Many people whether consciously or unconsciously\nconsider that they live meaningless or not meaningful life enough.\nWhen trying to explain, their narrative seems incomplete, weak, based\non mistakes, in terms of the way of their thinking that are full of\ncognitive distortions. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What the term “meaning” does mean to\nyou? For me it has to do with clarification, indication or\ninterpretation and notions such as importance, worth, value.<\/em>\nExample, when someone tells me “meeting him was a very\nmeaningful for me,” a person is using wording “meaning”\nas a notion, right? \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other day I met an\nold friend of mine who told me he was quite unhappy because after 30\nyears working the same job he realized that it was not what he really\nwanted, basically that he spent his 30 years in a meaningless way,\nhence, he considered his life as meaningless. Because ”my life \u2013\nit is my job … my life \u2013 it is my husband<\/em>…my son…my\nfans…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is not – because you\naren’t either your behaviour, job, house,car, your children, friend,s\nparents, Facebook or Instagram account, or the number of followers\nyou have on some of the social networks, etc. etc. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read it once again and\nthink for a moment. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n I personally was so\nhappy when I grasped an idea that ”I am not my job and my\ncareer”… <\/em>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n OK, now when we have\ndefined what you are not, who am I than? \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of lecturing\nwho you are, I am pretty sure you can figure out yourself who you\nare. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take a look at this\nexercise \u2013 concentrate yourself and focus on the questions and\nbe ready to write your answers down on a sheet of paper. . \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, read\nall questions carefully and than answer each question as honestly as\nyou can and from your heart rather than your brain. Take your time.\nDon\u2019t think about what the answer should be. 3.What\nare your most dominant interests.<\/strong> 6.Who\nare the people who you\nmost often deal with<\/strong>?\nList them according to categories (ex. A as the highest grade, B\n(very pleasant) ,C (pleasant) ,D,E, F (problematic) …you name it\nand categorize as you wish. You will see\nthat after studying these questions and your answer you will figure\nout what is your unique mission and purpose in life \u2013 if not from\nthe first time, doesn’t matter,come back to your answer several times\nif needed. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For some of\nyou, one or all the questions might require deep thoughts, but\nremember the first answer that comes to mind will be the answer from\nyour soul. Do what works best for you.
1.\nHow would you describe your\npersonality<\/strong> \u2013 max.5\nwords
2. Briefly describe your\ncharacter<\/strong> : what are\nyour strengths, and weaknesses, virtues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.\nWhen you think about your future<\/strong> – what opportunities would\nyou like to have open to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Do you have a\nrole model<\/strong> \u2013 person\nyou admire about ? If so, describe what you admire about that person.\nIf you do not yet have in mind such a person because ”it doesn’t\nexist yet” \u2013 however, describe what qualities that you’d like to\nemulate you\u2019d like that person to have \u2014 qualities which you\nwould like to emulate.
8. List the places\nwhere you have lived<\/strong> and\npossibilities that each place offered you.

Can you figure\nout where have you been in life, and where do you want to go in life?<\/strong>\nYour answers should give you a picture can provide you with an\nanswer or an idea to think what you can contribute to your family,\nfriends, work, community – the world .
