Let’s look further into meaning and how it influences our mood.
In the book Flourish, the author defines meaning as “belonging to and serving something that you believe is bigger than the self.” You can both FEEL meaning and ADD meaning for others.
Another way of looking at it… Connecting to your larger goals!
The first thing that may have come to mind is religion, which can add meaning for so many. This is not the only way to serve something greater than yourself. Social justice, volunteering, advocacy, educating, etc.
For me? I find the most meaning I have in my life is providing help to others. The most meaningful compliment I can ever hear is that I brought joy into another’s life, even for the briefest moment.
So, what is meaningful for you? Do you currently feel a part of a movement or sense of purpose?
If so, wonderful! Keep reading to learn how to build on this. If not, I am so glad you have come across this post!
