(Q: How often do you get feelings of hopelessness?)
The meaning of life is in the living of it. When you satisfy your
basic instincts and needs you are rewarded with feelings of pleasure and
well being because that is evolution’s way of rewarding and encouraging
that behavior. Often feelings of hopelessness are a result of “thinking
too much”. If your logical mind tries to find a meaning in life, it will
probably be disappointed. By staying in the present, you can enjoy the
instinctive pleasures of just being alive. Fear, dread and regret are all
meaningless concepts in the present. Try to practice living in the
present as much as possible and use your ability to plan for the future
only to act decisively to make changes that will improve your future.
