Hello, great Ladies of Hive, it is another week with an interesting topic to write about. The topic “How do you define a meaningful life, and do you feel you are living one?” is something I have been pondering for a long time, I had to personally ask myself if I am truly living a meaningful life and I surely gave a sincere answer to myself. So many people have their definition of what a meaningful life could be, to me I will say that a meaningful life is a purpose-driven life, a life of impact, one that offers value, a fulfilled life.
of what use is life if you can not impact and help the lives of other people around you? Of what use is life if you cannot fulfill a purpose? Most people assume life to be meaningful if you are rich, successful, and in place of power, to some people, a meaningful life is one without challenges, struggles, hardships, etc. Come to think of it, it is not a bad idea to be rich but of what use is your wealth if you cannot add value to the people around you?
A purpose-driven life is a life of purpose and purpose is the reason why a thing or a person is created, purpose is a clear reason why everyone and everything on earth exists.
Nothing exists without a reason, let’s take an instance the spoon was created to be used for eating, the pot for cooking, shoes for the feet, and every other thing as well has its own defined purpose and when those things are misused it fail to fulfil its purpose. I have been hearing these sayings “When the purpose of a thing is not known abuse is inevitable”, it applies to humans as well, everyone on planet Earth has a purpose and if you drift away from what you ought to fulfill you have been abused.
Have you ever asked yourself, why was I created? Why am I still alive? What do I need to do to make the world a better place? If you can sincerely ask yourself these questions and give answers to them then I will say you are living a meaningful life. But if you feel lost, if you can’t find answers to why you are here I will recommend you ask God in prayers, He is our creator and so he knows why he created you and me into this world, he is with your purpose manual and can give you answers of why you exist on earth.

Living a meaningful life is something that requires intentional effort and commitment. Reflecting on my own life I have realized that I am blessed with diverse opportunities every single day to make a positive impact on the people around me, to add value, and to bring solutions to the needs of people. Through my work, my career, and relationships, and in my community as well I strive to live a life of purpose by making the lives of people better. Most times you do not need to do so much, just putting smiles on the faces of people is enough to make them feel better.
I would not say that I am perfect here but I am still in the process of self-discovery because I wish to do more, I wish to add value, I wish to impact humanity globally, I wish to proffer solutions to problems, and all to make people smile, I derive joy in making people happy that is when life becomes more meaningful to me.
