What makes life meaningful?

For me, having a meaningful life is finding happiness and having the people I love share this happiness. I see some people who had been very rich, but they are not happy. I have seen people who are very successful in their career, bu they do not seem to be happy. For you, what makes your life meaningful?

Having a good friend that I can trust makes me smile. Knowing that God will never leave me or forsake me is the best. I also love spending time with my family. But, the one thing that makes life the most meaningful is helping people.

I can answer this question with one word – family! When it comes down to it, family is everything and I feel really horrible for people who don’t have a close relationship with their families or don’t even have any family. This is nothing against anyone who has not children, whether by choice or not, because you can still have a wonderfully close relationship with other members of your family without having kids of your own. I also include those who feel their friends or co-workers are like family. It goes beyond blood or DNA and your family can be big or small. But basically everything I am, everything I do and want to do comes back to my family. I want to make enough money to help my family and give them things they need and that will make them happy. I want to take care of myself and remain healthy for my family. I want to do things well to make my family proud. See what I mean? I’m not forgetting my myLot family either! Annie

For me, life is meaningful as long as I have my family and friends to share it with. You cannot be happy if you are not honest with yourself. You need to take life by the horns and make what you can of it. Life itself is not a bowl of cherries, it's full of ups and downs and bumps and bruises with twists and turns all along the way. If I wake up in the morning, I smile and tell myself that I'm thankful to be here today to smile.
