The greatest meaning of life is to live your own

How to live the best version of yourself

By Melanie M HooperPublished 3 years ago 6 min read

In life, everyone desires to live their best self. Living your own life is in some ways a reinvention and discovery of your own life, but also a profound insight into yourself.

When you are willing to live your best self, your life will be valuable and meaningful, naturally, your life will be truly dominated by yourself, and you will become stronger.

How to live your best self, please remember the four paths and mindfulness to help us to discover the meaning and value of our life.

First, let go of the external standards and look at past experiences anew

In this world, everyone desires approval, but many people's approval is built on others or society.

When one base one's life on others, we sometimes find ourselves easily drifting, because too many external standards can also cause self confusion and disappointment.

And to live the best of ourselves, we must first learn to get out of our little world and look at past experiences anew.

If a person does not get out of their world, then we will always be trapped by ourselves. We do not know what the meaning of life is, or what the value of life is, so we are running around in the east, and many efforts will become a growth hollow.

One learns to get out of one's world to begin to understand that the world is essentially a pluralistic process and that we are no longer bound to our perspective alone, but know how to see more perspectives.

The world that each person sees is a mapping of his or her inner self, and only when we are the first to see that the world is a projection of our inner self will we gradually step out of our world, and we will gradually see others.

A good life is one in which we can truly see others by stepping out of our world, otherwise we can easily fall into nativism and limit our life exploration.

Unbeknownst to us, this kind of establishment cannot help us to know ourselves, much less help us to see the value of ourselves.

Learning to step out of our world, no longer building our life on the right and wrong without effective targeting, but seeing the self can not escape our cognition, our insight, our vision, our thinking, and level, which is the first step out of our ego, but also we can see the self again very important step.

People who have never stepped out of their world of ego do not know that concepts are all relative. When you step out of your world, your inner beliefs will start to loosen up, and you will not cling to your worldview and values, and some aspects of your self-growth will begin. Then you will truly face your world again and reconstruct your own life.

Second, out of their comfort zone, establish their self-consistent system

A person who is strong inside will always have his self-consistent system. This self-consistent system is not instilled by others, but in their own experience, they constantly find their foundation of stability.

In fact, in this world, we must learn to build our world in our way. This unique way of thinking is the key for us to be able to get rid of the external voice and live our voice.

I think, therefore, each of us needs to give voice to our existence, and essentially also when you are giving voice, you will find that your feelings are from not one person, but a small group of people.

Learning to speak up for yourself is not to question others, but to know that there are a thousand roads in the world, but there must be a road that is your own.

This voice for ourselves is the key to getting out of our way, and the key to being able to distinguish ourselves from others. Of course, we are not denying the world and values of others.

We need to find the root of our existence, which is the greatest meaning and value of each of us to find our existence.

Once when I was young, my parents told me to go out and remember to send more gifts to the leaders, so that the leaders can promote me. But when I came out, I found that my parents' set is also relatively outdated.

In the workplace, it is more about working hard, and improving performance is fundamental. So learning to find the fundamentals of life, in essence, is to help us reduce a lot of internal conflicts.

We do not need to think about whether we want others to like, but we need to think about how to maximize their value and the value of the company, when you know how to find the foundation of their own life is, you will find that the meaning of life is by the essence of living will be more motivated.

The purpose of growth is to give yourself more choices and no longer be swayed by people, which is the highest level of meaning and value in life.

Thirdly, learn to nourish yourself in the relationship

Nowadays, more and more people advocate for their own independent space, and there are very many people living alone, which may be a completely different change from before - the change in social structure has led to the creation of a new way of life.

Many people increasingly prefer to stay with themselves, although it doesn't matter much to stay with yourself, a person who gets used to solitude will find his world getting smaller and smaller.

We need to learn to get along with relationships, and essentially we need to know that a good relationship is one of mutual achievement and mutual nourishment. If we leave relationships behind, we become more alien to our sense of responsibility and community.

And proper social relationships promote the expansion and growth of the inner self. Indeed, everyone needs the nourishment of relationships, and by getting along with others and finding ways to get along with them, we will have greater confidence in facing social division of labor and collaboration, ensuring that we do not grow up isolated, but knowing that we are interdependent.

While we as a society encourage everyone to become independent, encouraging independence never means that dependence is not important. Humans, as part of a system, are far more dependent on relationships than we think, and we should never resent them for being troublesome.

Learning to share in relationships, finding support from others, getting comfort and encouragement from others when you are down, and having someone to share the joy when you are successful, are all part of relationship nourishment.

Fourth, increase your love for life and learn to break away

Living your best self means that life is a choice of what you love, so the best way to face life's work choices is to learn to break away and say goodbye to the tedious, unpleasant work.

Instead, choose to spend more time on self-creation, when you know how to play your creativity, some aspects, you will see the meaning and value of self-life.

Many people are used to thinking of work as a tool for survival, but this tool for survival drains our inner souls. By learning to truly embrace our inner joy, we will not only say goodbye to the inner volume but more importantly, activate our inner life force and creativity.

The essence of life is a creative journey, we need to protect our hobbies and know how to activate our inner experience, when we can spend more time on what we delight in, we will feel good about being alive.

So learning to grow up doing more of what we love and enjoy and doing it well will also allow us to live our best selves.

Living our best selves is essentially the process of continuing to nourish our lives, respecting every experience within ourselves, living without burdens within, but more with happiness, seeing that living is a very joyful thing, and naturally, our lives will feel empowered.
