Question: What do you think makes a meaningful, valuable life!?
And what do we mean with "meaningful" and "valuable" !?
(yes I know, it was ME that said it but hey, it means different things to different people, yes!?)

For me I think its finding that balance between a stable, stimulating career, loads of travel and being surrounded by people I find great!.

Maybe for others its becoming an idol or something!.

I guess it depends on your values!.!.!.

first of all you gotta know what you like in life, and then pursue those things!. contribute to your community, help others out!. while at the same time doing things for yourself that make you feel fulfilled!.

all of life, every aspect of it, revolves around people!. there's no getting away from it!. and ironically, people are what makes us happy!.

let's say you finish a personal project, your life's work and passion!. now what!? with no people around it can't hold that much value!. you want to share the joy you've aquired with as many friends as possible!.

so while we all have our own lives and look after our own little hobbies, we still derive most of our happiness from the people we bring into our circle and get close to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The only things you will take when you depart a lifetime are the wisdoms gained from it's experiences!.

"Values" are human concepts!.!.!.what are deemed as acceptable, "good", character value are controlled by the mass consciousness of an environment!.

Wisdoms, on the other hand, become part of us!.!.!.they are not concepts, rather they are 'truths' we embrace from the many opportunities to do so!.

Balance is definitely key toward the greatest enjoyment of a lifetime, and your examples of personal focus would provide much opportunity to reap from!.

to ultimately give back to the world so future generations can live a better life and to provide for and support your family and kids so they can do the same - without this, your life is nothing and aimlessly pointless!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

For me, I think a meaningful, valuable life would be stability!. My life is so full of ups and downs (mostly downs), that I just want to stay steady, like a rock!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
