We are all on a quest to discover the meaning of life, whether we know it or not. You are in your car, and

in a panic you think: why am I here? Good question...if you never asked, you would be dying

feeling you missed out on life. Here are the three steps to begin the search for the meaning of life:

1st Step: Reflecting on your past

You will have to do some inner work in order to start with a clean slate. It may not be fun, it is

very important work. This is the only way you can be free of anxiety and depression that may have plagued you

This work can be done alone, but many see faster benefits with

therapy. It is common to have to look around before you find the right person to help you.

2nd Step: There you are!

You are under there somewhere, though you may be hard to find. It will require your attention to really discover

yourself. Be aware of your preferences, and try to understand why you have them. If you have a strong emotional

reaction, try to figure out why. Think from the perspective of yourself as a child. Remember what it is that used

made you feel excitement? If you are feelings lost in this world, remember you can't truly live

within yourself.

3rd Step: Aligning with yourself

Now that you know yourself better, it is time for rubber to meet the road. You are going to be making some important changes. It's possible

you have been putting yourself second to others for a long time. The key is for you to be

the real you, and that means doing what you really want to do. And having what you really want to have.

And being what you want to be being. Be aware of inconsistencies and start changing. You have to make these

things now, because you cannot wait to be ready for it.

Only you can answer for yourself the question of the meaning of your life. It remains unquestioned, though, that life must

to be lived fully. It is not enough to just moved through the world in a trance. You cannot simply exist. You must be plugged into life so you

not reach the end of it and find you were dead all along.
