Meaning comes from different aspects of life. It’s about having meaningful relationships with family and friends, pursuing goals and personal growth, helping others, expressing creativity, and exploring spirituality. Sustainability is also becoming important in finding meaning. It’s about living in harmony with nature, reducing our impact on the environment, and working towards a better future for everyone. So, meaning is all about connections, personal development, making a positive impact, and embracing sustainability.
