Do something meaningful with my life

I’m thirty four years old. I work in advertising and I drive one of those cars that you probably look at with envy. A Mercedes. I likely make much more than you do. (well over 100k.) My wife is beautiful and I love my son, but I look at them-and the pug, by the way-and I just don’t feel anything. I eat well, all the time. Last night the wife and I spent well over 400 dollars at dinner. But all I could think about while chewing the steak, though it was tender and perfectly seasoned, was how I had better steak at a restaurant in Paris, and how nothing would ever compare. I have this same feeling, I must confess, while making love to my wife. Did I mention she is beautiful? Well, she is and she doesn’t deserve me, but about two years ago-in Paris (I know, Paris, again)-on business, I met a girl-she wasn’t as beautiful as my wife, but she was younger, filled with more life… she was really living, you know, backpacking through Europe. She made me feel young, and I forgot about my job, and my kid, and even my wife. I wanted to just leave with her and never go home. Well I didn’t. And I haven’t traveled for a while on business either. I just don’t know what I want out of life anymore. I’m seeing a shrink, and he’s good, and I feel good for a while after I see him, but then I start to feel like there’s no purpose to my life. I should be happy! I should be happy shouldn’t I! My house looks out over the water, and every morning I go outside with my cup of coffee and I look out at the islands-that’s what I had always dreamed of! But I can’t help it, I feel depressed. There, I said it, I’m depressed. Please help.

Most people look at me and consider me very fortunate. Well paid, high profile career and in material terms doing fine.
But there is a gaping hole where meaning should be.
Life should be far more than profit, money and new shiny things.
So I am going to do something about it….question is what.

Suggestions very welcome – I need the seed of idea and creativity.

I used to be happy, I used to be meaningful. I’ve got nothing now.

Well…. i have always searched my entire life for meaningful things, and this has caused people to be short with me, because i am one of the most sentimental people i know… but i feel that maybe, that, that isnt such a bad thing, i was not able to think of anything that would be meaningful to do with my life, but after i started thinking, what if that something meaningful was just being that nice guy everyone could always depend on… was meaningful…. if i could just make everyone around me, and the one i love, happy then i will have done something meaningful… because is happiness not the most meaningful thing in the world?

Im young but i want to go place see things I want to succeed but live. I want to do something meaningful

But I don’t want it to fade away. I want to save people. I want to make an eternal difference in people’s lives. But how can one such as me do something so noble? And do it selflessly, without any ulterior motives?

i can’t see my self important to my chosen job,ive almost work meaningless here,im so bored!

I think I’ve actually done something meaningful with my life. I talked about faith a lot lately with a lot of people and it really open their eyes. I consider that to be a very meaningful thing…

I just wrote the graduation speech. At first I did not know what I wanted to say, but I managed to come up with a quite decent speech. It’s rather short though.
We don’t have valedictorians here, so even since I’m by far not the best student I am the one giving the speech.

Someday I will do something meaningful, but I really can’t rememeber ever having done something meaningful. I’m pretty useless.
I really want to make a change this year. Hope I can.
