Tbh I'm not sure lol. Personally I've struggled with a lot of mental health issues since I was young so I'm finding it hard to say whether we should live life to its fullest or just accept the feeling of finally feeling ok. What do you consider meaningless btw?
Since reading some other comments, I don't know what is meaningless anymore, I now think that you could find meaning in everything if you looked.
I think rephrasing the original would do better, it should probably be about living a fulfilling life without harming others and not ignoring good opportunities because you think you should wait until the perfect time that'll never come.
However this ignores unavoidable pain that we all get in some way or another, in your case mental health, so I'm still not sure what would be a good way to live, as we aren't always in a decent enough position to take up the kind of opportunities I said earlier.
