'What makes life meaningful ? '

                                                        Should life be meaningful? Various people may have different perceptions on this.From my standpoint,yes,it must be meaningful.How arrogant,careless a person  might be,at some point of life he will ask himself a question - 'Why was I born?'. If we look at human life cycle,it itself is our journey of finding meaning to the life segmented by phases.Each phase,initially we are clueless,nature let's us learn our lessons,we either excel ourselves to reach our potential or settle for mediocrity which is a sin according to me and move on to next phase.Again the cycle repeats.They say that people should should speak about ourselves even after we die.I would say,why not more when we are alive? People should speak great about our morals,our ethics,our habits,our over all personality.So when do we say a person has a meaningful life?

"Your life is meaningful when you find your passion and follow it."
"Your life is meaningful when you make your parents proud based on your character,achievements."
"Your life is meaningful when your family is respected by the society based on what you are."
"Your life is meaningful when you wake up everyday with passion and sleep at night with contentment."
"Your life is meaningful when you have a fine balance between your personal and professional life."

                                                   

I knew the above things are easier to be said than done.For many,it takes a lifetime to come closer to these.However,when we intentionally develop and maintain the qualities quoted below,a meaning can be given to LIFE.

'Look at the future with you foot touching present'

1.Find your passion: The early we figure out our passion and follow it with heart the better our lives will be.Unfortunately,having brought up in a country like our India,we are evidently influenced by the opinions of parents,teachers and the society. It takes immense thought process and maturity to come out of the box and be the trailblazers.

2.Be self disciplined: It takes a day  to succeed,it takes a lifetime to continue to succeed.Self discipline is key for consistency.

3. Pick your battles:It is important to choose what we are thinking ,what are we spending time for.It is better not to waste time on trivial matters.

4.Attitude : Have a great attitude such that see an opportunity in a calamity,you turn the tide in your favor irrespective of how strong the wind is.

The above qualities helps one to achieve  a meaningful life.Once it is acquired,when we are about to die,we tell ourselves "Here is a man born with nothing,dying with contentment and a legacy for generations to follow".
