How to Give Meaning to a Clueless Life

The greatest tragedy of life is for people  to live and die and never come out of themselves, to never realise the possibilities hidden within them. Each time I come across people with huge potentials and who seem to be clueless about what to do with their innate abilities, my heart bleeds.  To give meaning to your life you must live it on purpose. There is nothing as dangerous as living a life that has no bearing. Such a life will definitely be very boring!

How can you then give meaning to a clueless life?

The way out is to discover who you are. When you know who you are it becomes easy to live a purpose-driven life. You would have discovered the purpose for which you are in this world.

So I want you to take time to ruminate over the following and answer them as truthfully as possible:

  1. Do I love where I am today?
  2. Would I like to continue to do the kind of job or the kind of activity that I do today when I come of age?
  3. Am I using my natural talent to do what I do today?
  4. Will I like to be the best of what I am doing today?
  5. What one thing do I need to do to make the greatest possible change in my life?
  6. Who is doing something closest to my dream?
  7. What area will I like to make a positive impact?
  8. What will I like to be remembered for?
  9. What mind-blowing accomplishment will I want my name to be associated with?
  10. What field will I like my name to define?
  11. What do I do best with the least effort?
  12. What kind of help do people frequently ask from me?
  13. What is that area people show me the greatest respect?
  14. What can I do for fun and still earn money?
  15. What irritates me the most when it is poorly done?
  16. I usually lose track of time when ……………………
  17. Which of all the human needs touches my heart most?
  18. I am the solution, what is the problem?
  19. Who has this problem?
  20. Which books, magazines or discussions interest me the most?

I am convinced that if you can consciously and truthfully answer the questions above, you will discover your potentials and know exactly who you are. With this, you will have succeeded in giving meaning to your life, even if you had no clue before.
