Tag: Meaning of life

If you want to create meaning in your life, you must pursue something bigger than you.

‘Be careful that your ‘there’ is not created by someone else or some external force, such as Facebook. Your ‘there’ can, and often should, be constantly moving as your experiences, successes, and perspective change. Our bar may well become higher and higher as we journey through life.’- Alan Weiss and Marshall Goldsmith

Nothing stays the same, not even you. If you are not changing, then something is not right.

You must rethink your life. And you must change how you do your things, how you live your life, and the people around you.

Why is that? If you do not change how you see yourself, nothing is going to change. Remember that change is an internal business.

If you want to create meaning in your life, you must invest your time and money wisely.

‘We all have time and money, but the key differentiator is where we invest them. That means we don’t have to gather more resources, but instead change our priorities as our conditions change.’– Alan Weiss and Marshall Goldsmith

Put your resources where your thoughts are. Do not just do something. If you don’t know why you are doing something, you are wasting your time. And know when to change.

If something is not working for you, do not keep it. Let it go. If you keep it, it is only going to work against you.

If you want to create meaning in your life, you must help yourself first.

‘You can’t help others fully unless you’re helping yourself first, which is why airlines tell you to put the oxygen mask on first before attempting to help others.’– Alan Weiss and Marshall Goldsmith

Do what you can, not what you can’t. Do not try to give out what you do not have. To create a meaningful life for yourself, you must help yourself first. Don’t ignore other people, but do not promise what you can’t do.

If you want to create meaning in your life, you must know why you are good.

‘It’s better to know why we’re good than that we’re good.’– Alan Weiss and Marshall Goldsmith

Before you do anything, always make sure you know why you are doing it. Why you are doing something is more important than what you are doing.

Everything is about why you are doing it. If you do not know why you are doing something, then don’t do it. It won’t help you.
