I'm Still Human: Understanding Depression With Kindness (Expanded Edition - 2021)

Here are some ways to help us to find meaning and purpose in life:
1. Think of or read about someone who inspires you, e.g. Mother
Teresa. Maybe you should try doing something like that.
2. Recall your childhood dreams, e.g. becoming an artist. Maybe it’s
time to revisit your dream.
3. Try to do something new and meet new people in life, e.g. new
hobbies, new hairstyle, join a book sharing club, go for a holiday
in Tibet. You may discover new experiences and purpose in life.
4. Try to do something routine in different ways – be creative, e.g.
different food for breakfast, taking a different road to work,
teaching using new methods. “The real voyage of discovery
consists not in seeking new lands but seeing with new eyes.” -
Marcel Proust.
5. Read about religion, spirituality and philosophy. It broadens the
way we think about life.
6. Consider following your heart; not what society says you should
or shouldn’t do, e.g. a man becoming a home maker, a medical
graduate becoming a chef.
