I have heard that a meaningful life is one of the keys to happiness. Meaningful life...what exactly does that mean?
Meaningful as in good morals? As in making a difference? As in having this feeling that there is something bigger out there? Something that is meant for you to discover? Something that is bigger than you. When you get there what happens? Is the journey over?
I don't know or can't remember where I heard this but for some reason I have always thought once you reach that meaningful place the journey is over, as in bought the farm. Once you've reached that potential and there is no higher to go the world is done with you. I don't want to believe this is true. I have seen some only go half way there and kicked the bucket alot earlier than they should have.
Meaningful life to me means this feeling. A feeling that is almost indescribable, butterflies all the time, an overwhelming need to create, being passionate and this feeling of being wealthy. Wealthy as in wealthy with happiness, friends, family, love and laughter. Although it helps to have some jingle in your pocket! Its a feeling of self worth. Its a feeling of forgiveness and resilience. I know I ain't biting the dust just yet cause I still have problems with those two.
I am certainly not saying that being around me is like tip toeing through the tulips or riding a unicorn over the rainbow but I am working on it. I am finding my meaning and I certainly have butterflies. I also have this big smile plastered on my face.
