Happiness Isn't The Meaning Of Life

Instead of pursuing happiness, meaning should be the purpose to life. This will get you through hard times, and help you find sense when tragedy, depression or anxiety strikes.

In my opinion, the number one goal in life is knowledge. Gaining it and spreading it.

I don’t know how you do this, but you helped me so much with this video, the love of my life left me, my grandfather has cancer, I got fired from my job, and I spent every day trying to do things that made me happy. I was on the verge of killing myself and it took a lot of work to get over that. You are truly a special human, thank you so much.

Ini yg perlu ditanamkan, hidup jangan terlalu mengejar kesenangan atau nominal materialnya atau keinginan untum punya sesuatu, walaupun memang berharap itu bukan hal buruk, tapi setiap momen kejadian itu ada makna dan berkahnya. Keberkahan membawa kebaikan dan ketenangan dalam diri untuk selalu lebih tenang dan lebih baik.

Message: Hapiness is great, meaning maps your fulfillment in life.

100% and this is why you can’t make your family, children, or any other person the meaning of your life, because all those people can be taken away. It’s got to be something that’s always there.

Happiness is more of an attitude than something that we need to pursue, while meaning is one of the most piwerful things we can find in the external world

Man your videos have helped me so much thank you!

To be honest this is true, meaning doesn't exist, however pursuing meaning is still your own.

I was severely depressed as a teenager and contemplated suicide alot i was on so many medications in such a short period of time and i felt like shit constantly im still not living the life i want and im not happy but im able to recognize what i have and stick around for the good times and that goes a long way

I don’t know why I saw myself talking to my daughter in the future about this… just saying.❤

What we choose to do with the intelligence we’re given. The information we’ve collected and how we use this knowledge throughout our life to advance from one state into another. This is the meaning of our lives.

There's a video by GCP Grey titled "7 ways to maximize misery" it's mostly satirical because you cant tell people how to be happy because it's different for everyone, but you can tell be common causes to misery and if you avoid it you'll be less miserable, thus, hopefully, a little happier.

Anyways, in the video he equates life to a boat at sea amd you're just a passenger. Happiness is a bird that flies around the ship. Every now and again the bird will land on your boat, but as soon as you notice and try to catch it the bird flies off.

Message being if you spend all your time chasing happiness you wont find it.

It's about enjoying the little moments (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

Ya thats the million 💵 question for a lot of people..

[grovelchieftain]

I think doing one’s duty is more important, duty to your family, friends, coworkers, etc. happiness is a byproduct of fulfilling your duty well

What if the meaning was finding happiness?

Have you heard of Simon SInek? Your reasoning here sounds a lot like his concept "Start with why." If you haven't heard of/listened to him, maybe give him a lookup. You may like what you find.

I miss the times this guy actually made sense
