To Find the Meaning of Life, Be Engaged, Not Occupied
Through this quote, Swami Vivekananda instills in us a key lesson: that the meaning of life is discovered when we feel engaged, not occupied, by what we do. We’re occupied today, but not engaged, which has become one of the main reasons for our mental health’s degradation. Being occupied means staying busy, which means we are constantly following others' orders—managers, the media, elders... Being engaged means to work on a task for the sake of the task, to enjoy it. Stay engaged to keep a good mood, appetite, and sleep cycle. Use your mind and body constructively, and you’ll realize that most things that occupy your mind don’t really matter.
