If you ask yourself or those around you the question: what is the meaning of life, then in most cases you will get the answer that you need to achieve something. For example, build a house, plant a tree, raise children, make more money, gain recognition, travel the world, and so on. All of this is incorrect. Many people confuse the concept of goal and meaning. All of the above and all other achievements are not the meaning of life, but only individual goals. And the meaning of life is in striving for a goal, and these concepts must be separated. What should we do if the goal is achieved? We need to set a new goal for ourselves. Approximately this is the meaning of life - do not stop there and constantly set new goals for ourselves and move towards them.
If there is no goal ahead, then life does not end there, just life becomes meaningless until a new goal is found and movement towards the goal begins. This movement should be positive and creative. An organism that only consumes and destroys and creates nothing is called a virus. If we do not want to be like a virus, our movement must be positive and creative, and if we are not confused by the likeness of a virus, then we can spend our lives on consumption and destruction.
Sometimes, successful people are compared to sharks, because the shark is constantly moving, and those people who are constantly moving towards something, eventually succeed. But man is not a shark, it is necessary to make forced stops for sleep, eating, and rest. And this is not bad, because even when sleeping, a person moves towards the goal. The purpose of sleep is to get enough sleep, the purpose of eating is to get energy for movement, the purpose of rest is to gain strength for movement, because if there is no strength, then there will be no opportunity to move forward. It is necessary to spend no more time on rest than will be enough to continue moving, if more time is spent on rest, it will be a pointless waste of time. The right balance between movement and rest will have to be determined by yourself.
