The best way to experience this article is to listen to it. Is that you reading? If so your voice is so soothing.
I have lived my life on autopilot for a long time. It's funny how turning 40 really does kick off the Midlife Crisis and a person's search for meaning.
That is indeed me reading, Mark. Thank you for taking the time to listen!
I’ve felt the same way, living life on autopilot. I just did what was expected, not questioning it much. Whether it be because of a lack of capacity to do so, or simply just reluctance, I’m happy I’m now changing that.
I always ask myself: when was the last time I did something for the first time? Quite often.
This makes me feel new things: something as simple as a new recipe (when I'm on my lowest moods, that's already a big win) and something as wild and out of the routine as: hiked for the first time, or almost got killed by a cow (yes).
Searching for meaning can feel like a big task - what if meaning finds you? Put yourself out there, give yourself some love and listening. Go outside without headphones. Listen, really LISTEN to yourself, no noise to numb your thoughts.
Experiment new things, re-try old ones - what did you love as a teenager? Why aren't you doing it?
A search for meaning is a search within, and a search within is a discovery of the world.
I loved your anecdotes. Followed! This was a really good first post to get to know your work :)
Great post Rasmus, your writing is getting better with the anecdotes from your personal life you're throwing in, keep it up!
It's interesting how we give others advice, but it's the advice we should also be taking ourselves. I do that all the time. Keep up the awesome work!!
Thank you for reading Stefano!
I guess there’s some truth to “do as I say, not as I do”.

Everywhere is noise, and there is only more noise moving ahead.
Rasmus tells a story of him cutting through it, and discovering what he already knew.
Thank you my friend.
