1. Are You Waiting For Meaning?

2. Once I was dating this girl. We'd been
together about a year.

3. It was pretty clear that the magic was
starting to fade.

4. Every time we'd get together, we'd just
kind of go through the motions.

5. Eventually we parted ways, both
realizing that was best.

6. Sometimes on the weekends I'll go to
the local mall.

7. If there's decent movie to see, and I
happen to be in the middle of a good
book, I'll get there a couple hours
before the show starts.

8. Hang out in a coffee shop and read.

9. Catch the show.

10. Do some window shopping, then head
out.

11. Sometimes when I've got a couple
hours to kill before a meeting or event,
I'll go downtown and wander around.

12. Most people find that it's pretty easy
to feel lost.

13. That life doesn't have a point. That
there's no meaning.

14. But here's the thing. Most people are
waiting for somebody else to give the
meaning.

15. Some external "thing" that defines
their lives.

16. Some people happen to "meet" the
right person, and it works out.

17. Then they happen to "find" the right
job, which turns into a career. Then
you can feel like you're onto
something.

18. But for more and more of us, that
doesn't really "happen" any more.

19. The world is different. The economy is
different.

20. Which means it's up to YOU.

21. Only YOU can define what your life is
for.

22. Only YOU can give your life direction.
Only YOU can choose where you are
going in your life.

23. Most people have very vague wishes
of things they'd like to have "happen"
in their lives.

24. Very, very few take the time to take
those vague wishes, and turn them
into concrete goals, backed by
concrete plans.

25. In reality, it doesn't take long to do
that.

26. We humans come preprogrammed
with very STRONG desires.

27. Money. Security. Companionship.
Recognition. Self-fulfillment.

28. It's up to YOU to take those vague
instincts, and turn them into action
plans.

29. How long will that take? If you're
serious, not very long.

30. And once you get started on your
action plan, you'll simply redefine
them as you go along.

31. The more things you try, the more
feedback you'll get, and the more
enlightened you'll become on how to
get there.

32. Only THEN will your life have real
meaning. A meaning few ever feel.

33. Why?

34. Most people are terrified.

35. Most people think that if they choose
one big goal for their lives, they may
fail. Which means their life is
meaningless.

36. But the paradox is that the only way
for your life to NOT be meaningless is
to choose your life. Live your life.
Leave your mark.

37. Stop waiting, and start acting.
