People who feel and see a great sense of meaning in their being, and its significance to life, can handle in a much better way, social pressures associated with the ever-demanding modern human lifestyles. This is because when you exude a sense of meaning, it’s an effect caused by your own natural readiness and usefulness in creating possibilities and solutions, to any challenging situations. In other words, you’re ready made and all set with a creative and solution-seeking mind that intends to give value, hence the quality of meaning.

On the contrary, those who lack a sense of meaning about themselves, may be more likely to struggle often, feel stuck and without much progress in their lives, and ultimately lose their confidence, self-belief, self-esteem etc., possibly because their mental setting is focused on getting and receiving, and hence lacks any great sense of meaningfulness about who they are and what they are here for. When this happens, unfortunately, it creates an opening for a sense of hopelessness to creep in, which itself will simply flush out any feelings of excitement one may have had about life and the future.

In a quest to add quality into life, so it feels meaningful, interesting, and joyous, many people might lean more on wealth creation and the acquisition of material things. If the economic atmosphere is favourable and allows for one to accrue a good number of valuable possessions or money, this becomes a lesson that wealth is an effective way to give one’s life a sense of meaning. However, a sense of meaning tied to the status of the economy, as well possessions and wealth generated therefrom, is just as uncertain and lacking in stability like the economic atmosphere itself, often on a seesaw spiral.

If you’ve been around a couple of decades, you must, I believe, by now have learnt that when it comes to matters of the economy, you cannot always have your life feel as great as you want. In other words, you are never ever going to find it any easy to influence the outcomes you desire to experience in life. So, getting your life tied to something outside of your control, like the economy and wealth generation, for example, is never a best approach, if you want to create a lasting sense of meaningfulness and seamlessness in life.

How then can you bring the culture of meaning into your life, and one that can stand the test of time?

What you can do:

Firstly, say no to yourself for adopting a life that is forever hooked on the economic index or is driven by what you always expect to get, both of which you have no control over, and can easily allow a sense of hopelessness to trickle into your life. Secondly, and most importantly, see value in you and seek for some clear and preferable passageways to give it away. Surely, there’s value in you, as is in every other natural being, and if you can see it, it’s all yours to control. How you choose to disburse the value you have within is the beginning of the meaning of your life, and it’s called purposeful living.

*IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT*

 Beginning 12th March 2023, the Centre for Knowledge (CfK) Kajabi Account will be placed on a “PARKED” mode for an uncertain period.  This means the entire CfK website, including the blog, podcast, membership, and as well email services, will not be accessible during such a period.  All this has come about as a result of CfK’s financial difficulties, mostly linked to the new era following the advent of Covid 19, and even more so the recent price escalations associated with the Russia – Ukraine war.  Early this month, February 2023, the current season of the CfK membership also failed to attract the right number of members, with most citing financial difficulties.  This therefore means the CfK, which all this time has been self-sponsored by founder Dr. Benson N. Modie, will not be able to continue paying for the Kajabi online hosting services, beginning the 12th of March 2023.  Given the nature of the CfK project, being more a life project than a business project, the services will certainly resume when the financial situation improves.  Thank you so much for your support and hopefully you’ll still show your support when things get better.

*In the meantime, I’ll continue to send motivational and inspirational emails to those in the CfK mailing list, and if you’re interested but not in the list just click on the following link to subscribe:
