Help me to find meaning in life

[Boost]

How to create value to others, or to myself at all, if everything is available on the internet in videos. 
I believe that everybody is good at something and he must do it for the greater good and connecting with other people. For example Michelangelo's soul calling was to increase the aesthetic abilities of people. Colombus had the calling to explore new territories for humanity. So I want to make distinction between sould desires and body desires. 
Also I believe that doing what I like, raising my basic consciousness
I have an idea, that I have half year if free tine until I start college, and I thought I want to play on my saxophone in a way that I want to play the most quicly and artisticly the paticular music piece, the devil's trills final movement. But this feel bad idea at the same time I just want to contribute to the people I know and also I don't want to compete because there will be always better, and I can't give  value to youtube. Or I don't know why it feels bad.
Nowadays listening to classical music is my only intrest. I feel half-contect with it, or not at all.

@Boost I had this exact issue 5 years ago fam.. I felt alone on this journey.. so I literally made a whole community around finding yourself. Try and find your tribe, or help them congregate around you!!

I can only speak from my own experience. But my life has been pretty meaningless till I  started making changes I cared about.

 

For example, I started eating cleaner to feel my body and live longer. I started creating music because it was a LITTLE bit interesting, I built habits that  had heard were good for me till I felt results or not.

 

Now my life is REALLY meaningful, and I created that. I didn't "Find it" anywhere, I built it out of nothing.

Have you taken the LPC?

If I play a musical piece to Facebook, then it has value to my Facebook friends, or it is worthless because the internet is full of people playing this? 

Can somebody explain this to me?

why does it matter if someone has done it before you? Why cant you just enjoy doing it and sharing it in spite of it being done in a similar fashion thousands of times? Even if you do something that someone else has already done, it's still not the same because you allways add your own twist to it or the details are different

Don't fall into thinking that "everybody" is doing something creative. They're not, almost nobody does in fact. You only see a pinnacle  of carefully picked content creators served to you by algorithms. Most people on the planet don't have a life purpose nor any passion. You're not in it to become famous influencer, you just need a small tribe of people who will like your content and will be willing to pay you for it. 

Ignore what everybody else does, stop following other content creators and just do your thing. 

My sister recently bought a new camera and started taking pictures of the small town she lives in at night. She doesn't follow any influencers but occasionaly posts her picture on the local town FB group. She has thousands of likes and her page has about 300 fans acquired in less than 3 weeks. She found an interesting style and now got a first request for photo shoot from a local artist - she'll never become an influencer but she found her small tribe and found her style. 

Another example I can think of is an ex member of this forum. I think she wouldn't mind me sharing her account . In about a year she has acquired 34K followers and her best video has almost 300K views. Her content is one many people wouldn't be interested in in but she is speaking to a unique niche of people who do and has attracted great numbers of them by being authentic, creative and just sharing her journey. Her channel has exploded over the last 6 months. 

So don't fall for "no space left", there is plenty of space for you. Just start the work, start sharing and let the magic do its own thing.

Act based on your desire to create things, not on the belief that they will somehow complete you. You're looking for reasons in order to validate your decisions, yet meaning is nowhere to be found "out there", as it exists as a construct of your own. So, generate your meaning, create what you want to create. Make sure it is powerful and intelligent. Certainly, a process is needed to get those results, but the key is to continually move towards that direction.
