Introduction
This is the first in a series of articles chronicling the story of my search for meaning. In future articles I will explain how life changed to discover meaning for life.

"I can understand why people commit suicide or self harm. When life stops holding a meaning, why struggle when you can end the pain. These feelings are from suffering acedia." - Ideas from my phone

The Search for Interesting

One's goal is to notice the story in your life and understand how the small events fit into the larger picture; slowly unraveling the significance of each moment to create a story. Learning; it is what you observe about life that makes anything and everything interesting.
I will try to write an interesting story that will relate to others.

I want to write a story about my goal to find the answer to a question; 'What is the meaning of life?' A goal I have been focused on ever since I began writing ‘Cultivating the Mind’ in 2006. -From my list of goals

Writing a good story is worth the effort, because behind all good stories is meaning. Writing is helping me to learn the story behind the meaning of life. Through writing I focus my curiosity to create stories.

20 years ago when I was finishing high school, I wrote:

“During hard times I have noticed a lack of motivation and energy in me. I can sense the absence of purpose for the day.”

That day marks the beginning of my search. Since that day my mission in life has come to define who I am, what I do and how people see me.
