People usually start searching for a meaning in their lives or to life itself when they are either going through a stressful or painful situation, and they just want to push through and find the light at the end of the tunnel.
This quest might not necessarily begin from a place of joy and many times, the answer is supposed to spread motivation rather than soother. In today’s post, I wanted to share with you 3 ways to find meaning to life. If I were to ponder about this question these would be my personal answers. As always, if you’re interested – keep on reading!
On se met généralement en quête de sens à sa vie, voire à la vie elle-même, lorsqu’on traverse une période stressante ou douloureuse, et qu’on aspire simplement à surmonter les difficultés et à entrevoir une lueur d’espoir.
Cette quête ne naît pas forcément de la joie et, bien souvent, la réponse vise davantage à motiver qu’à apaiser. Dans cet article, je souhaite partager avec vous trois façons de trouver un sens à sa vie. Si je devais me pencher sur cette question, ceci seront mes réponses personnelles. Comme toujours, si cela vous intéresse, poursuivez votre lecture !

ESTABLISHING HAPPINESS AS PURPOSE
I personally think the meaning to life is fairly simple and that is happiness. We all know there are moments of ups & downs in life but at the very core, life is meant to be enjoyed rather than survived. It’s impossible to be constantly happy and I personally think it would be unrealistic to think that you should suppress negative emotions in order to experience happiness.
However, you have to find moments of joy in your everyday life. Those small moments will inevitably turn into fulfilment and contentment as time passes. If you can’t find them then you have to curate them and that’s the reason why it’s so important to figure out who you are as a person and your likes & dislikes. These will help you find what brings you joy and not.

CREATING MOMENTS OF COMFORT
This is similar to the previous point but I do think that along with happiness, comfort is very much needed as well. What’s the meaning to life if you don’t feel comfort in it? There are so many things we seek but the one thing we always go for when we feel scared, confused, afraid or stressed is the space where we find comfort whether it’s a person, hobby or place.

BUILDING HOPE
I don’t think there is any grandiose or philosophical meaning to life than hope. We all need something in order to move forward, push through and navigate life, and hope is the only thing which can help when it comes to this aspect.
Your life is very much a journey and more often than not, you spend a lot of time hoping that things will work out and come through for you, and I do think there is beauty in it. The fact that you are still able to stand no matter how many hardships you go through is a testament to your strength but also hope.
