At only 23 I feel I have done so much alrealdy, been on either sides of the world, tried several jobs and careers, followed different lifestyles… And still haven’t found what I am meant to do.
How to find the meaning of life
How I did it: I was never satisfied with life and I'm still unhappy in many ways. I want to change my life radically. The meaning of life is anything you want it to be. I think I finally realised that after, well, living my life, reading, learning about other people and the world. I think the way to really find your meaning of life is to throw yourself into it wholeheartedly and love it and learn it and that's what I am trying to do now and try and be the best person I can be.
People doing this are also doing these things:

I’ve concluded that there is no blanket solution to the meaning of life. Every individual must find their own reason for being on this earth. What life means to one person may not apply to someone else. Life is a solo journey for all of us, so we must all find our own meaning.
I have a feeling Bob Dylan knows what’s going on though…
sortilegio is off to worky worky now, no joke
I haven’t quite found the meaning of life, but it has found me, and that’s good enough for me.
It seems so complicated when trying to figure out, but once you know it, it seems so simple. The meaning of life, is, of course, to find the meaning of life.

I am only 28 years old, my life is nothing but pain, pain, and days when i am in so much I feel as if I can see it, and I can’t think. ... ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS Share your food with the hungry, take the poor and homeless into your house, and cover them with clothes when you see [them] naked. ...
I felt the pain started with me.I felt like someone was tearing me apart wen I saw women sell themselves on the street to buy milk for their children, 2yrs old child was begging for food and dying of hunger .
Imagine being invited to a banquet where you bring your own meal-
and you brought a steak ,baked potatoes and asparagus with Boston cream pie for desert.
Joining you at that table were a sampling of the human diversity from your community.
Across from you at this table was a mother with children who had nothing to bring-
how much would you enjoy your meal without sharing it?

I really don’t know if there is a meaning of life.
But if there was I would think it is to just live life to the fullest….
Or maybe it’s just to experience life.
But then again I think there is a different meaning for every person.
Like there’s any chance of finding this one out.
David Gilmour’s guitar solo from “Comfortably Numb” is a good place to start looking for the answer though…
Here’s something I found a while ago on the net about life and trying to give it some meaning. It took me a while but I think I’m finally getting it:
You weren’t provided with instructions for life at the moment of your birth. But if you would get a list this is how it would look like:
1.You’re receiving a body. You can like it or not, but this is the only item that will be at your disposal until the end of your days.
2.You’re going to have to receive an education at the ‘school of life’. Each occurrence and each person will be your teacher
3.There are no mistakes, only lessons you learn. Failure is a necessary part of success. There are no victims only students.
4.Life’s lessons will be repeated in various forms until you fully grasp them. If you won’t grasp the easy one’s the lessons will become harder.
5.External problems are an exact reflection of your inner state. If you change your internal world your external world will change for you. Pain, melancholy and emptiness are all nature’s ways to get your attention.
6.You will understand that a lesson has been learned when your actions change. To reach wisdom you must practice.
7.There is no better place than “here”. “There” is not much better than “here”, once your “there” becomes your “here”, you’ll get another “there”, that will once again seem as better than “here”.
8.Others are simply a reflection of you. You can’t love or detest something that is within others if it does not reflect your own qualities.
9.Life only creates a frame, you paint your own painting, and you won’t be able to leave this one unfinished.
10.You will receive everything you desire. You must simply choose the environment that will give you the strength and energy to reach your goals.
11.Change what you can change in life. Search for the strength to accept what cannot be changed and ask for enough wisdom to be able to distinguish one from the other.
12.You’ll forget all this as soon as you’re going to boast around before yourself or others.
13.Once your heart will desire it you will remember it all once again.
Here’s a place where I find answers to many of my questions:
