Most of the adult world runs on bullshit. Bullshit jobs fueled by bullshit corporate politics. It's hard to find meaning in the corporate world.
But there are some things that are resistant to cynicism, like having meaningful friendships and relationships. Or working diligently to achieve some big dream of yours. Or getting out of the corporate world and walking the entrepreneur path.
For as much as bullshit exists in the world, there are also genuine things to pay attention to and care about.
If you feel you are cynical all the time, then that means you haven't found something that you can genuinely devote your energy into.

- androidgirl 8y agoI'm not the OP, but what are the best ways to discover something with meaning?
- Art9681 8y agoI don't think meaning is a path that can be forced. You have to figure it out on your own. What I would suggest is focus on things where the journey brings you happiness and satisfaction not the potential outcome. I like to code just for the sake of learning and coding and "making things move". Whether that skills translates into a successful business or app idea or not is irrelevant to me. I have several hobbies I treat this way. "Doing the thing" is what brings me pleasure, not the romanticized idea that I will be successful doing it or become some master of it in the future.
