The Meaning of Life
What is the true meaning of life?
Have you ever asked yourself this question before?
The true meaning of life.
Who am I? Where am I going? I have currently no answers to that question.
My name is Xu Zhenyao. I will be graduating soon from Nanyang Technological University of Singapore.
Soon to be mechanical engineer specializing in mechatronics. soon to be 25 years old.
A few months back, I got hooked into marketing online and eventually into personal development. But today, after a few audio books and self help books, am I really a better person?
Well… I am seriously deficient in self esteem. I am stucked right now.
Almost graduated and don’t really know where to go on from here.
What do I do?
Solution
People of this technological age always turn to Google.
Actually I have been reading this 2 personal development blog. Pickthebrain and TheChangeBlog
I found this 2 articles.
Finding The Path to Meaningful Existence
What do You REALLY Want?
Finding the Path to Meaningful Existence
Peter Clemens is a brilliant blogger, at least in my perspective. I came across his blog from pickthebrain.com
In this article, the guest post Kent N.Thune “The Financial Philosopher” talks about how to define your own life. The steps that you can take to start discovering the path to your life.
He mentions that it is often useless for people to read self help books, attend seminars because of this thing called “State Effect” and “Trait Effect”.
This is something that I find very very true. A lot of people I have heard about said that after the seminar, their life goes back to normal. It’s like morphine. You get that instant high during the motivational speeches by the speaker. After that, its back to ground zero or square one.
“Do not let people define success for you.”
I guess in pursuit of success, people often lose their mind. Will you be like one of them? Will I be like one of them?
What Do You REALLY want?
John Wesley, another self help guru talks about having a focus. You don’t have to follow the usual path to land of riches.
You can choose to lead a path of your own.
Ultimately, life is not a race. Or is it?
What about you
It ultimately boils to you. You must discover for yourself. No one can help you but yourself.
It is often said that, “the greatest enemy of mankind is no one but man himself.”
But is it really so easy?
Tomorrow I am going to sit down and plan my life. What I think I want in my life right now. I suggest you do the same. Drop me a note. Share it with me.
I will share my plan with you. I believe I will find “my way”, my piece of “Nirvana“.
