What is the meaning of your life? To help you answer that question for yourself, let's look at it a different, less abstract way.
What is the meaning of your death?
That is, what would you want people to say about you after you died? "Kind, generous, good at public speaking, talented chip-eater, good parent..." I don't know, that's for you to decide.
Do yourself a favor, and write it all out.
What would you want people to say about you?
After you've tackled that challenge, study what you wrote. Are there some common themes? What would all these things that people said about you imply your passions were?
People? Creativity?
Now, what you'll want to do, is highlight and circle anything vague. That is, anything less than specific, highlight it. (its probably most of it, that's fine!)
Then, make it specific. Loving husband... how'd you show that love? When? Generous person... To who? How much did you give, and when did you give it? In what way?
Make everything specific.
After that, focus, make your action plan, and get started on making that life happen!
Sensei's Challenge
Take a half hour and write out your eulogy and discover your passions, your purpose to life!
(And remind yourself of that purpose every day.)
