Each of us gives meaning to our own lives. The problem is how to discover it. Two fundamental questions to help with the search are why and what for. Sometimes it takes years to find the answer, but it's worth looking for it, otherwise we will always feel that we are missing something for happiness. The meaning of life consists of so many elements that we can find it both in ordinary, everyday matters, as well as in the spiritual sphere or activities for the broadly understood humanity. Thanks to this, in the event of problems in one area, we can focus on another. For many people, the meaning of life is successful family relationships. Suppose, however, that someone is lonely and feels that his existence is pointless. It feels completely natural because we are herd creatures that need valuable interactions with others. In principle, the closer and more distant family should fill this void in us, but sometimes it is difficult or even impossible. In such a situation, it may help to make new friends, engage in volunteering, and adopt abandoned animals. Such activities help to open up to others. A lot of people want to feel fulfilled in the professional or creative sphere. They need specific achievements and recognition from the environment. Continuous work and successes make them see meaning in their lives. They are ambitious, they want to be remembered for their achievements. This desire may also be related to the pursuit of wealth, but not necessarily. For some people, fame is more important than money. Still others want to experience wonderful things and make their dreams come true - to reach new heights, visit new countries, meet famous people, break the Guinness World Record. If something gets in their way, such as an accident or lack of money, they feel unhappy. There are famous cases of mountaineers who, even after the death of their companions, are unable to give up their passion and keep returning to the mountains to conquer it. Finally, some people see the meaning of life in the pursuit of the best possible experience of the time that has been given to them. They want to leave as much good as possible. People who believe in salvation and life after death wish to deserve eternal happiness. Believing that there will be something after death allows them to overcome adversities and endure the hardships of life more easily. Sometimes a psychologist or a psychotherapist helps to find meaning. It is worth taking advantage of such help, especially when we feel completely meaningless in our life, because it may be a symptom of depression.
