7 ways from an unclear path to a meaningful life path:

1. Read good books: There are some wonderful books on self-discovery, self-improvement, self-help, etc. Read them with a sense of gaining insight (not just to finish it). Learning from the such book will get you a broader meaning of life and help you find your purpose. Do try!
2. Compelling goals: Don’t have a goal, I am serious! Have strong compelling goals. Your goals should drive you to act with passion. Most people make mistakes exactly in setting their goals. They have goals but are not compelling enough to get the best out of them. A compelling goal will lay down a path for you.
3. Thinking Big for yourself: Never shy away from thinking best for yourself. We unknowingly surround ourselves with too much self-criticism and self-limiting beliefs. Make a habit to visualize the best outcomes for yourself.
4. Clean up your mind: Sometimes, we are victims of our own thoughts. So, take a break, and try to clean up your mind. Allow space for some fresh ideas.
5. Volunteering: Try some volunteering if that’s possible. This adds to great work experience and creates a wider network. But most importantly, gives you a very distinct pleasure when you see someone benefiting from your actions. For many, it creates the meaning of life.
6. Learn new skills: Always spend time learning new skills. Sometimes, new skills can open, a completely new door of opportunities.
7. Help your parents (assuming you are with some elders): Learn some life skills by helping your parents or elders in the family if you are living with them. Household work is (unfortunately) highly underrated but I consider them a great source of learning. Learn cooking, cleaning, organizing your house, etc, these can teach you great time management skills. If nothing else, you can offload some workload from your family members.

There is no secret or sudden revelation of gaining meaning in life. It takes a life of its own. We need to find meaning in everything to have a meaningful life.
