Hi 👋 Prado here

What is the meaning of life?

A question I got on Twitter this week “What gives meaning to your life?”

When I read this question I quickly realised I honestly don’t know the answer to this question. I was trying to find the answer and conclude it in a single sentence.

That’s when it hit me… I recently wrote a StoryCard on this same topic about 2-3 weeks ago.

Here’s the StoryCard 👇

I went back and read this StoryCard and Holy sh*t. I realised I’m looking at the wrong place.

I was looking for a one-line answer but the meaning of life is not a one-line answer,

The real answer is anything that makes you feel alive.

It can be teaching, marketing, sports, creating, business, love, anything to be honest.

Here are the things that make me feel alive:

• Education (Providing Quality Education) 🙏

• Playing cricket

• Travel (Exploring places and meeting people) 🚀

• Reading 📚

• Writing (That’s why I write a newsletter every week)

• Stories 🙌

• Family, Grandchildren ❤️

• & many more…

I want you all to list down things that make you feel alive.

That’s where you’ll find your life’s purpose too.

The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning. - Joseph Campbell
