What Is the Meaning of Life?

This is a great big question but it's nothing I can't handle. After all, I haven't even finished university yet so of course I am able to answer this question.

Let me ask you a question. What is the meaning of your life? Yes, you heard me. I just answered this great big question with another question. But truth be told, it's the answer.

The meaning of your life doesn't have to be some in depth insane elaborate philosophical answer. In-fact your meaning could be just about eating ice cream cones. Every single person on this earth has a different meaning to their life. This meaning can consist of family, friends, work, significant other(s) or simply being your best self everyday. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS. Maybe you have 5 things that you live for and maybe you only have 1, either way they are equally as important.

Pro tip: If someone is content with their meaning of life and you don't like it then you should think long and hard whether you found the meaning of your life. If they are happy stop and think to yourself what more do you want out of life other than to feel pure happiness? An ice cream cone? Okay, maybe.

You might be thinking to yourself: "Matt, that's all great and all but how do you find your meaning of life?"

Well that right there is another great question but this is mostly your doing. It's nothing I can really help you with.

A piece of advice I'd give however to find 'your meaning' is to do what ever floats your boat, turns your crank, yanks your chain, rustles your jimmy's, jumps your jacks or the zest to your zester. Really do what ever makes you happy. Do you want to go to art school but your parents are telling you to go to law school to make money? Be the rebellious teenager and go to art school. It's not fun being on the unhappy path, slogging through day after day after day. Maybe you randomly decide one day to start a blog for absolutely no freaking reason! Then mother freaking do it! If it makes YOU happy then do it. Just do it (Nike™)

This blog post definitely didn't answer the question and I am sorry. It was more of a ramble this time, but that's because this is an infinity big question (don't even get me started on infinity). I'm just a boy, not a god. Also before I end this post - now that I have you re-thinking your entire life, I wanted to leave you with one sentence of wisdom that my friend gave to me. I'll probably butcher it but it goes something like this: "Treat your life like a game and do your best every single day to win it."

Your meaning of life doesn't necessarily have to be "something," it could just be rules to live by.

Cheers.
