Introduction

Life is beautiful; life is challenging; life is short. Each of us will have a very different experience of life but many of us will ask the same questions: What is the meaning of life? Will my life have meant anything after I'm gone? Will I even be remembered?

This blog is a collection of musings on the meaning of life and offers suggestions for leading a fulfilling, meaningful and memorable life.

About Us

Give My Life Meaning is a family-run blog, managed and edited by Dominic and with contributions from Barry Ward and Chrissie Ward. Dominic also runs the Biography Writer blog, providing you with tips and inspiration to write your autobiography (or the biography of a relative or friend).

This blog is intended to be an outlet for self-contemplation (both serious and light-hearted);  a collection of suggestions for adopting a more considered, philosophical view of life; and a pool of resources (great books, poetry and music) that have inspired us.

Above all else, this blog is intended to be a creative melting pot of different views and  philosophies, where all mature opinions are welcome. To paraphrase Voltaire (or more accurately, to paraphrase Evelyn Beatrice Hall in her summation of Voltaire's thoughts on freedom of thoughts and expression), "we may not agree with what you have to say, but we will defend to the death your right to say it".

We hope that you find the content in this blog inspiring, meaningful or, at the very least, thought-provoking.
