How do you put meaning into life?

Human beings give themselves reason for every thought, feeling and action.  In the same moment, the heart knows existence is already whole.  That is, being requires no justification and true purpose does not require words.  Which thoughts are capturing your attention now?

From the view of the mind, meaning is found and even given to individual experiences.  The mind thinks about things and often misses the 'the big picture.' Watch what happens as you connect experience with knowledge and beliefs.  Physical existence takes shape through direct experience and awareness. Which feelings enrich your life at this moment?

Notice how the mind instills meaning into life. How do you actually put meaning into life? Ponder what makes you think meaning is important.  Reflect on these points for fun;

1) Be aware people claim to find their own answers about the meaning of life or sense failure.

2) Recognize the ego mind limits your point of view 

3) Explore the scientific perspectives that appear to influence your valuing process.  

4) Know that inner knowing is anchored in something beyond verifiable, human terms.

5) Sense purpose is forever expanding based on loving and expressing compassion.

6) Realize attitude is malleable and a stepping stone to being receptive to inner power. 

7) Image how life unfolds as you accept intrinsic value exists in all conditions.

8) Know awareness is not created.  It simply is.

Hi Liara .. I like the analogy of the bigger picture being tied in to everyone's thoughts, knowledge and beliefs .. something else for me to take on board. Point one too - I agree - I'd benefit from spending time with Janice, who visits my Mum, as she has found her meaning in life .. and has great awareness of lives, old and new, around her.

Thanks - Hilary Melton-Butcher

Hilary, every stage of yoru own perception is valid and meaningful. When your instinct suggests you take a certain action, this is often done as a gesture to empower you to expand and enrich your true self.To develop faith in and listen to intuition is a very powerful thing.

The more deeply I go within, the more meaningful my life becomes. On top of that, the less I attach to the "Me" that's walking around in this dream, the more eternal life feels.
You provoke great thoughts and gentle probing in this post -- I'm grateful.

Megan, everyone gently nudges everyone else to awaken. As you grow in awareness, you sense new levels of meaning wherever you are. As perception expands, you realize lessons are offered to you in every situation. You are cared for as a child and throughout later life, you evolve to serve others in capacities initially unforeseen.

The search for meaning is an over rated concept. At least in my opinion it is. The meaning, purpose or whatever you want to call it of one's life, either presents itself to one automatically and is recognized by the person as such, or one just lives like most of humanity does, one day at a time.

rummuser, your perspective is appreciated. Some people believe their purpose is constant and unchanging, and waits to be discovered through a process of raising self-awareness. Other people develop the idea that their purpose evolves with them. That is, they have different purposes at different stages of their lives.
