Here are a few important questions to ask yourself about your purpose and meaning in life! For fun, I have provided my own answers to them as an example! If you do answer these, I would recommend taking the time to write them down, think about them carefully, and be as honest as you can!
- What is your life work? My Answer: Writing, sharing ideas and emotions, creating art, advocating for and comforting others with autism, mental illness, and chronic pain/illness.
- What is the meaning of your life? What gives you purpose? My Answer: Inspiring others (kids, fellow Aspies, those with disabilities, other outsiders). Loving family, friends, and animals (loyalty).
- What is your passion? My Answer: Writing, spirituality, philosophy, psychology, toys, books, animals, art, creativity.
- What does the world lose if I wasn’t here? My Answer: A child-like, loving heart and spirit. Loss of inspiration and creativity. The loss of a voice crying out for justice and harmony. Loss of a unique thinker.
- What would it take to begin fully living my dreams today? My Answer: Time, the willingness to fail or be ridiculed, the possibility of being proven wrong, unwavering belief in myself, trust in what is meant to be, hope.

1: Helping others to improve their health, particularly mental health.
2: This has become harder to identify, but I guess raising awareness about mental illness and challenging stigma.
3: It’s hard to feel passionate about much of anything these days, but travelling has always been my answer to this question.
4: My guinea pigs would lose a very devoted mom.
5: Full remission of my illness.

Great answers Ashley 🙂 I can totally understand your last one. That probably should have been in mine too. Without my physical and mental illnesses, I could do SO much more!
