So don't worry about not knowing what your meant to do with your life. Funny thing is your actually doing exactly what you need to do in any given moment. Just be open and alert, soak in what is happening around you and make the most of it. Most importantly remember that everything is a learning experience, so ask yourself, What am I learning in this moment? You might be surprised by the answer, and start to notice how events chain together to give you that experience. I've recently started living this way too. It's crazy how much your life turns around once you start just 'living it rather than trying to steer it in the direction you want. | ||

It should be noted that I am a Christian. So the above is in my religion and what I should be doing. Now, if we're talking about something job related or "future plans", I'm the type of person that has always strived to achieve the highest goal possible. I want to go to the military. I can NOT do a job like a regular soldier. That's not good enough for me. I work hard at everything I do to become better and better and do more stuff. Always learning and expanding. Just being a common soldier (not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just me), is not what I am as a person. I am attempting to join the best of the best, Navy SEALS. But that, to me, is the meaning of life. To love people and ALWAYS be learning. I cannot stand to sit still and accept a job that doesn't challenge me. I would go crazy. lol. The pursuit of knowledge is one of the greatest things a human being can do. | ||

In terms of job sense i have no idea what i wanted to do or want to do now, i have had 3 jobs in my lifetime and i have been good at all of them (KFC Manager - Office Admin - Office Junior). I still don't know if i will be doing this for the rest of my life but i know one thing i need a job to have money to do my leisure activites i enjoy (play games/drink/go to football matches etc) So all in all, the only advice i can give is, get a job, any job so you can fund your lesiure activities and continue to do everything you can to make yourself happy, thats the meaning of life to me. Making YOURSELF happy. No offense to this guy but Frank Zappa said if you follow what your parents say, what your local priests says and what your local politicians say don't complain about a boring life. Life for me is doing crazy things, things a lot of people would like to do but may hesitate because it could be too radical. I graduated from university at a young age, I had a stable job but after a whole year of working hard and earning money I realized it was all a waste of absolute time, I was missing the big things in life: I expent 3 months reading hardcore mind blowing philosophy like Nietzche or anything I could get my hands on (1984, Chilhood's end both were mind blowing) and doing hard sports like Brazilian jiu jitsu for at least 3-4 hours every day, then I got a shit paying job as a DJ in a brothel/strip club, owned by the italian mafia, that was seriously seriously fun. Now I'm healing from an injury, decided to why not, read a lot of science fiction and learn russian, even when it could be totally useless. I don't care, I enjoy all. Hopefully next year I'm heading to some country in Africa, maybe Liberia or something, if it's a mess, the better I want to see it for myself. Damn I got to say that when I stopped listening to those people Frank Zappa said life really became seriously fun. | ||

Specific lives, however, can have meaning. It's up to you to give your life a meaning. Look for things that you care for and in which you would like to make a difference, and fight for them. You can't fight for everything though, so you need to pick your fights carefully, and even then it might take a very long time until you start making a difference. As to your situation, OP, it's fine to be lost. Try to keep your eyes and your mind open to new ideas, ask for advice from dependable people when you feel lost, and be true to yourself. | ||

whoever is the fittest will pass their genes on to produce more better fit life~ or at least.. thats what we would like to think... in the end, its all just a natural order of existance like physics, chemistry, and other natural science. to ask what the meaning of life is, is to ask the meaning behind the universe... and still, it feels like science is looping itself.. to a degree that we have to ask why the tiniest interactions exists. can i just say, the meaning of life is just existance? or even the universe? | ||

How?: Simply pray and ask him for help! Now (before any religious debate blah blah happens).Plenty of people have made it through life without religion and that's just fine...I am happy for them, but this is how I live mine :D | ||

"The Game" might not be the classiest thing in the world, but I think he's right in that committing yourself completely to mastery of one thing is the absolute best thing you can do for yourself as a person. I thought it was a great video. | ||

If there's an involved God/creator/power/whatever, the meaning of life is whatever that thing intends it to be. If there's not, meaning is just a human construct, so it's whatever we want it to be. | ||

It is much better to finish your degree and have a reasonable amount of work experience first. Then, when you are at that stage, if that is your calling, then make the jump into the ministry. In Jesus' time, people were not allowed to begin their public ministry until they were 30 years of age. Working in an occupation (Jesus was a carpenter) and gathering life experience will equip you much better in serving, rather than just jumping into it at 20. There is also a practical side to doing work first - you can save up money. | ||
