How To Understand The Meaning Of Life

Hello, I'm Sarah Lloyd-Hughes from Ginger Training and Coaching, and today I'd like to give you a bite-size coaching technique on personal development. If you would like any more information about my self or my company, please visit go-ginger.com.

How to understand the meaning of life? Hello there, welcome to this video in a big question, the meaning of life. We all get to a stage in life where we wonder what it's all about, and my job as a coach is to help people understand what's the meaning of life for them. Now, I can't guarantee you will have found the meaning of life by the end of this video, but hopefully you'll be a step or two closer.

Just follow this process. This is a big topic, so let's start up with a big question. What would you be, have and do if you knew you couldn't fail? This question is all about your dreams in life, the things that you would do if you had free rain.

Take a moment now, to pause the video and answer the question. If you're struggling to know what your dreams are, have a look at my How To Manage A Career Change video and How to Achieve Your Dreams videos for inspiration. Now, look at what you really would like to achieve with your life and ask your self the second big question.

Achieving this would be for the sake of what? What's the bigger picture or higher purpose that pulls you towards your goal? What's meaningful about that goal? Again, take a moment to pause the video and think this through. And now, your final big question, “What, therefore, have I been put on this planet to do, be, or achieve?” Again, this is deep stuff, so take as long as you need to pause the video and think this through. And now, what you've written down is somewhere close to your very own meaning of life.

Congratulations. If this is the first time you've asked yourself questions like this, it may take some time and patience with yourself to find answers. But stick at it, this is a hugely rewarding process.
