Often that is in part because we have lost touch with our purpose because we are out of touch with the meaning of our existence.

Often when we're not at our best, our life has become more focused on what is wrong with the world and less focused on what is good in the world and what there is to look forward to.

It's impossible to feel dread when you have a compelling future.

Ah, powerful mission or vision in front of you.

It's hard to drudge through life when there is meaning attached to your future.

You can't live in darkness when you believe your future is bright.

Perhaps the problem then is that many of us believe the future will not be better than the past, who don't mean life is useless and worthless without meaning.

We give up on life.

We cannot give up on life.

Henry cannot give up on our best life.

If you have no future vision, you are not living your fullest life.

If you are loaded with hope and passion for what is to come, chances are you are living close to your happiest, most fulfilled life.

Everyone needs a compelling future.

Think about it.

If you don't believe your future can be better than your past, you won't even want to get out of bed each morning.

And most people don't.

But if you know which you shoot, that your future can be much better than your past.

And not only that, it can.

It should be a life full of magic miracles and grew.

Then, my friend, You will jump out of bed every day, ready to attack today, ready to attack your goals.

Ready toe live this day fully Everything can be taken from a man, but one thing.

The last of the human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances to choose one's own way, Victor Frankel said this Victor Frankel, a survivor of four Nazi concentration camps.

It goes without saying Frankel was witnessed too many horrible, unbearable things during his time in the concentration camps.

Yet he never lost his greatest power the power to choose what meaning to give each situation the power to control his own mind.

It is impossible to fathom what life was like for a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp, It's impossible to understand how anyone could find meaning during such a time, Victor Frankel did find meaning in his book Man's Search for Meaning, Fraenkel observed that the prisoners who were more likely to survive the concentration camps had very specific psychological strengths.

They had a compelling future or future goals.

In other words, they believe they had a future.

They believed they had things to look forward to.

They had inner strength and the ability to go inside.

They were able to find meaning.

Despite the suffering, those who were less likely to survive had no meaning.

They felt they had no future, and so they didn't have a reason to survive.

They gave up physically, but perhaps more importantly, they gave up mentally.

Why is this important?

None of us are suffering through concentration camps.

But many of us are suffering from a lack of meaning.

And when we lack meaning and purpose in our lives, we can fill dead inside, often were dying inside simply because we lack meaning and a compelling future.

It's impossible to live an unhappy life when you are bursting with purpose and meaning a compelling future.

Something toe live for a purpose that drives you someone.

You're doing it for something to look forward to.

That is when we are alive when we have something to look forward to, weigh are living purposefully when we are excited to get up in the morning because we know there was something meaningful to take part in today.

We do not have to suffer like Victor Frankel dead before we realise this way can and should start now before this too late.

Build a meaningful, purposeful life, not a life where the primary purpose is getting ahead, or making money or paying the bills a life where the primary purpose is our purpose, where the most important things are the most important things.

That means we put the most important things first.

The greatest power we possess is the ability to choose our own thoughts and to choose them in a positive light.

You see, it's never the event.

It's never the challenges of life that causes our pain.

It is the meaning we give.

Each challenge that determines how we feel we all suffer were all challenged by life in different ways.

Whatever meeting we give these challenges shapes who we are, these shapes, who we are today and who we will become.

It can define us in a positive or negative way.

The meaning we give everything can cause us to give up or cause us toe rise up.

We can use it as fuel or trip Tonight.

One of the worst beliefs you could have in life is to believe that the future will not be better than the past.

You cannot be living anywhere near the life you deserve.

If you believe your best is behind you, what meaning can you create in your own life?

What can you change or create in your life that will ensure you have something to look forward to every day?

How can you change your life starting today, even in a small way to make it more meaningful and purposeful?

What is your purpose?

What is the reason you want a better quality life?

Who are you doing it for?

So how do we create a life of meaning?

We create goals for a future that will excite us.

What can you create and your future that will excite you way, fill our lives up with things and people that are important to us.

What kind of people do you want to surround yourself with?

What do you want to be doing with your time?

You'll work your spare time.

Who do you want to become way?

Make sure life is filled with service and presence giving to others.

Being of service fills us with naming and makes living on this Earth more beautiful, Fulfilling time.

Ask yourself, How can I serve not just in general, but in each moment, in every interaction with every person.

Ask how you can leave that person feeling better about their life than before they came in contact with you.

That is, living a life off meaning infecting everyone with your positive presence.

Let me leave you with Joseph Campbell, who said, Life is without meaning.

You bring meaning to it.

Meaning of life is whatever you describe it.

To be, being alive is the meaning.
