How to live?

Finding the meaning of life sounds like a great task to travel across the world to find it, but in reality, meaning may not be something we wait to find, but something we "create" every day.

1. Meaning in ordinary

Many people misunderstand that a meaningful life must be overwhelmingly successful, or famous, but in fact, meaning is often hidden in "small moments," such as

• Drinking your favorite coffee in the morning

• Seeing the smile of a loved one

• To do your best without being seen

2.Ikigai (Ikigai): The equilibrium point of the heart.

Japanese philosophy teaches us to find the intersection between what we love, what we are good at, what the world needs, and what makes us money. To be meaningful is to have "the reason we want to wake up in the morning," even if it's just to water the trees.

3. Being a giver and a linker

Humans are social animals. The meaning of life often flourishes most when we feel that "we are worth others." Helping colleagues, mentoring friends, or benefiting the public helps us feel that we are part of something bigger than ourselves.

"Life does not have a duty to give us meaning, but we have a duty to give meaning to life."

- Idea from Victor Frankl, a concentration camp survivor psychologist.

Brief summary:

The meaning of life is not a destination, but it is a filter that we look at the world. If we choose to look at it with kindness and learning, even on difficult days, life always has coordinates for us to move on.
