Author: siggyEvery person has a need for purposeful activity. It does not matter if you have a paying job or not. Even if you are retired, unemployed or even disabled, it does not matter. Every day you have to find activities which gives you purpose, a reason to get up every morning.
Every person has things in their life that are important, that gives them meaning. And if you don’t do them, there is a “hole” in your life. All you have to do to find them is to look around the people in your life who rely on you.
And also there are people in your community who need you. As long as you don’t isolate yourself you will be aware of others’ needs. Maybe a simple thing you can do to find the tasks around you that are important and give you meaning is do the next thing.
And when you finish the next thing go on to the next thing on your list. Every person has a need for purposeful activity. And you will know when you are on the right track there will be a sense of fulfillment in your life. We are wired to love and help others. You just have to keep your eyes open.
