Although you will still understand what I’m going to talk about if you haven’t read part 1 of my essay on Man’s search for meaning, I recommend you read part 1.

The book man’s search for meaning discussed how people in concentration camps try to live through suffering and find their meaning. Hopefully, the book can be helpful to you or someone out there who is searching for meaning.

 In my last essay on Man’s Search for Meaning, I put in a quote by George Elliot, and I will try and elaborate more on the quote, “It is never too late to be who you might have been.”(George Eliot Quotes) Even though the quote is very simple, I want to stop to think about its deeper meaning. You may have unique talents as well as very common ones, but if you don’t use them, you may have difficulties pursuing your dreams. let’s say you could have two lives, as you in both lives, and in one life you work as hard as you can to use your talent so you can do what you love and what you’re good at, but in the other life you have a talent but you don’t use it and end up doing something less enjoyable in the future. 

This is where the quote comes in, it is never too late to be the one who works hard and uses your talent to pursue your dream. If you are a person who does not use your talent then it’s not too late to start and be what you might have been much earlier in life. You should use your talent as early as you can so it’s easier to use it and love it later in life, but if you do happen to have a later start it’s ok, it’s never too late. Never forget that God was, is, and always will be the reason for life even when you feel your life has no meaning.

I hope you found this essay interesting and that it helped you or someone else. Don’t forget that you have a purpose in life, maybe you haven’t found it yet, but you do, and I believe that. The fact that you are taking a break from finding your meaning does not mean you are quitting. It simply means that you’re human, and everyone needs a break now and then.
