The Meaning of My Life

Maybe all life has the same meaning, maybe not

The meaning of life is threefold, to: live, love, and learn.

The meaning of these words is likely similar but not exactly the same for everyone.
I, of course, have my own interpretations which I might go into later.

So, that's the meaning of life... there it is... right there. The search is over.

But I realized that I was not satisfied with the meaning of life. So I knew it... so what?
So what? So what should I do with my life?

The answer to that is also easily stated. I'm not sure people are looking for the meaning of life when they ask about it. I wanted something that I could say was a life goal.
I want to do a couple of things in my life.
Work hard, and make some money. Not even so I'll have the money later, as if I were building up a fund to pay for my future actual living of life. But just as its own thing... I want to work and I want some cash-money-dollar-bill-ya'll in the bank.
Explore space. I guess when I look at the earth and all the things we're doing, space exploration is something that should be done. And I would like to help.
The other thing that mankind is doing that I feel should be done is helping others. I want to put effort into teaching, providing necessities, and improving life for those who want those things.

I have the nagging feeling that everything I'm typing really doesn't express what I'm thinking. Like, I can think something, for example writing about the meaning of life. But I move on and away from that. I have to force myself to come back to it and assign words to put into notepad.
Like, I'm writing this so it's recorded. And if I didn't write it, it would be lost when I moved on to lunch.... mmm lunch. Not like the overall topic would be lost but these exact words I'm using to describe what I'm thinking. Because they're only temporary, once I've dedicated thought into typing and expressing what I'm thinking the words no longer are exactly right. They're just a close approximation made after the fact and because I've decided to type them the next thing that I would have thought about was lost. So, I either record nothing and just wander around in my mind without stopping, then lose it all, or record it knowing that any reader, self included, will never be where I was in my head.

Ignoring that last paragraph, working hard is something I want to do in my life. I don't really care about the money, but that's how I choose to express my desire to work hard, is by saying that I want to be the best at my job and make money because I work hard.

So, future self... here is what I should do.
Work to further the human understanding. Space if I feel like it, but anything will do.
Make the world a better place for those who want it better.

Peace -- Mike
