Re: something simple
[ QUOTE ]
Here's one very simple thing you might try (which does not depend on, and has nothing particular to do with, a belief in God).
It's this: find someone to help.
In other words, find someone who needs something that you can freely and easily give them. It might be money, it might be time, it might be knowledge. Whatever it is, don't force it on them, and don't demand anything in return.
Try it. You might like it.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not claiming to be somebody who goes around performing great deeds of charity. But if you're wondering about the meaning of your life, it may be that you're focussing too much on yourself, and not enough on the fact that you're one of billions on this planet. Helping somebody in some way might give you a chance to look outwards for a while, rather than inwards, if that makes sense.
Just my 2 cents.
Best Wishes,

Great suggestion. I have a friend who gives some of his time as a hospice volunteer - spending time with terminally ill people. He finds it enriching and enlightening.
