Here are my favorite quotes from David Seaman's "The Real Meaning of Life":

"If you spend your time on things you feel are meaningless, life will seem meaningless to you, and you will probably be pretty miserable and discontented. If you spend your time on things you feel are meaningful, then your life will be full of meaning, and you will be pretty happy, no matter what happens to you." - Michaela Stephens

"It is true that the unexamined life is not worth living, but it is equally true that the overexamined life is also not worth living."
"There is always a blue sky above the clouds."
"The sunrise and sunsets in life are sublime, and every night we see that it is darkest just before the dawn, but on a deeper level we know that the sun never actually goes down - it's just an illusion caused by the world spinning around. Nature is nudging us, offering fresh evidence for hope and faith, love, and persistence against all appearances." - John P. Avlon

"Choose the meaning of life from one of the four listed below:
1. Life has no intrinsic meaning beyond what we attribute to it. Our task is to infuse our lives with whatever meaning will ensure we stay with it to the end.
2. The meaning of life is way beyond our grasp. Naturally, we do the best to grasp it, but it essentially ungraspable. Our life is a continual process of seeking that meaning, and living in the heart of that seeking. When we stop seeking we have either given up on it or decided that we have it figured out. In either case we are wrong, and life begins to die from there.
3. Life means love. Our lives are treasure hunts for love. When you find the treasure, you find yourself; you are love, you are life, you live.
4. Life is an experiment. Can we bear to live without meaning? If we can live without meaning, we will be destroyed. If we cannot live without meaning, we will destroy ourselves. If we find meaning, we will fight to live. If enough people find enough meaning, humankind will live. If a critical mass does not find meaning soon enough, the experiment will be complete, and humankind will be gone." - Wend Stewart

"We spend entirely too much time looking outside ourselves for meaning, for happiness, for gratification, for validation, or for anything we seek. The trick is to find all these things within first. Once we do that we find affirmation of all those things in the world around us." - Sjan Evardsson

"No one ever finds the meaning of life - they simply become suitably satisfied by love, children, or career, and these become the outcomes of the quest and human fulfillment of purpose... If you are ever consistently hounded by longings to uncover the meaning of life, it's you telling yourself that something is missing in your existence. Stop reading books about the subject - that's the equivalent of reading romance books when you're lonely. Get out and open yourself up to new experiences. You're being set up for an internal battle with your own desire for security." - Peter Davison

"For me, what it means to live are these things in this order: love, family, friends, fun, health, creativity, achievement, stability, purpose, variety, challenges, excitement." - Autumn Nazarian

"Give more than you take. Do your best to leave every situation better than you found it. Seek beauty in all its forms. Chase dreams. Watch sunsets. Endeavor to use more than 10 percent of your brain. Don't stifle your deep-from-the-gut, cleansing laughter. Take a moment to ponder the enormity of the universe, then admit to yourself that you can't possibly be the center. Breathe deeply. Swim into the dark water. Let yourself cry when your body tells you to. Love more. Delight in silliness. Don't be bitter. Forgive. Forgive. Forgive." - Katy Rhodes

"I have been alive 10,983 days. I can't help but think I've wasted around 10,900 of them.
By wasted, I mean I've spent the days hidden behind a desk at the office or slept until noon or wallowed in a bad mood. I've been ill, watched too much TV, or surfed the Internet for entirely too long. There are 10,900 days I don't remember.
But I could probably recall vividly around eighty-three different days of my life. These are the days I graduated from college, adopted my dog, Lucy, got married, played my first song on the guitar, or published my first poem. They also include the day my grandfather died and the day my first boyfriend broke my heart.
The days I remember aren't all happy or pleasant; they didn't always teach me a lesson or make me a better person. But they always, always made me feel something: excitement, pride, sadness, love, exhilaration. There is an overwhelming emotion tied to each of these days that makes them impossible to disregard.
It is so easy to pass a day without having felt anything. To me, my life has meaning only when I've felt something I can't forget." - Vicki L. Wilson

"Enjoy your life to the fullest, do what you truly love to do, and be with those you love as much as possible." - David Seaman
