20 inspiring quotes for a more meaningful life.
There are times when it feels as though our lives have no meaning. There's this mad rush for us to grow up, go to school, get a good education, and land a top-paying job, but life isn't always flourishing. Sometimes we get to 30, 40, 50, and we still haven't owned a home. We're still working a measly 9-5 job that can't even maintain a basic life and we feel like a total failure. What have I done wrong all these years? Why am I not further in life? I've been working so hard, but the ends don't ever meet. It can be discouraging at times to take a walk down memory lane, and reflect on the few things we've accomplished during the course of our lives.
The truth is, earning a university or college degree doesn't mean that we'll land a well-paid job in the corporate world. Working hard doesn't mean that we'll someday become a millionaire. On the contrary, having houses, cars and a hefty bank account doesn't mean that our lives will be happier and more fulfilled; materialistic possessions can only do so much and no more. I know how overwhelming it is to feel as though all these years we've done so many things wrong in our lives.
From the beginning of time men have been searching for the meaning of life. Jesus said, ''without me, ye can do nothing.'' John 15:5, ''I'm the way, the truth, and the life.'' John 14:6. So many people go throughout life still searching for its meaning. Some have passed on without ever living a meaningful life.
The choices that we make can either make us or break us in life. Take a moment to reflect on some of the choices that you have made and some of the choices you're about to make now. It's something you must do every day! If you really want a more meaningful life, choose wisely! Are you happier with the choices you've made? Are you spending or investing your time in what matters most?
What is it costing your sanity? Are you helping or hurting others? Are you investing enough time to acquire wisdom, knowledge, and understanding from God? What are your goals in life? Do they align with God's plan for your life? Everything that we do every day comes down to choice. Below I've compiled 20 inspiring quotes that can help us to live a more meaningful life.
