I don't think you lack meaning, I think you lack direction. I look at Tony Robbins who was working as a Janitor before he started his self-help work. Now he's worth millions. I'm sure you have something to give back to others, it just hasn't occurred to you.

Isn't that what life's about? It's a series of decisions we make that sets the path before us.

Thank you for those encouraging words. They are much appreciated. I have just completed my final directives for when death comes. It just makes you think about where I'm at. Yes, your advice is welcome.

I'm eighty and I'm struggling with my mortality. I can't quite get rid of the fear of dying. I do have some regrets but I've looked at them as life lessons.
As to looking back over one's life, once you're old, I think most people would have wanted to live an exciting, fuller life. So if you're a young adult I would whole heartily agree with that. I wouldn't let anything get in my way of having exciting, eventful life. I guess I'm saying living the vagabond, hedonistic life would be the way I'd have liked to live it.
