question there’s also like separate ways to understand this question as well in
to understand this question as well in
to understand this question as well in fact there seems to be like three
fact there seems to be like three
fact there seems to be like three separate ways to understand it firstly
separate ways to understand it firstly
separate ways to understand it firstly we can think about it as the sense of
we can think about it as the sense of
we can think about it as the sense of coherence sense of life making sense
coherence sense of life making sense
coherence sense of life making sense someone that we understand what is

chaotic and unstructured the second way of understanding this question about
of understanding this question about
of understanding this question about meaning in life
meaning in life
meaning in life about the sense of purpose having some

about the sense of purpose having some goals in the future that give meaning to

the third way of understanding what we
the third way of understanding what we mean by meaning in life is about the
mean by meaning in life is about the
mean by meaning in life is about the sense of significance sense of life life

of these three I will say that this
of these three I will say that this third one the significance is the most
third one the significance is the most
third one the significance is the most most important most fundamental and most

burning question because like the sense
burning question because like the sense of coherence it’s nice to like life
of coherence it’s nice to like life
of coherence it’s nice to like life makes sense that we understand what is
makes sense that we understand what is
makes sense that we understand what is happening but when we ask about meaning
happening but when we ask about meaning
happening but when we ask about meaning we also want to like evaluate our life
we also want to like evaluate our life
we also want to like evaluate our life find some positive value in our life so
find some positive value in our life so
find some positive value in our life so coherence by itself is not enough and
coherence by itself is not enough and
coherence by itself is not enough and same goes for purpose it might be a
same goes for purpose it might be a

answer to the question of meaning of
answer to the question of meaning of life that I came up with already several
life that I came up with already several
life that I came up with already several years ago was this meaning in life is
years ago was this meaning in life is
years ago was this meaning in life is about making yourself meaningful to
about making yourself meaningful to
about making yourself meaningful to other people so the way that my life
other people so the way that my life
other people so the way that my life becomes meaningful is when I feel in
becomes meaningful is when I feel in
becomes meaningful is when I feel in that I’m able to somehow be meaningful
that I’m able to somehow be meaningful
that I’m able to somehow be meaningful to other people and there’s basically
to other people and there’s basically
to other people and there’s basically two different ways that I can be
two different ways that I can be
two different ways that I can be meaningful to other people and I can
meaningful to other people and I can
meaningful to other people and I can connect to other people but firstly I
connect to other people but firstly I
connect to other people but firstly I can connect to other people through the
can connect to other people through the
can connect to other people through the sense of relatedness that when I have
sense of relatedness that when I have
sense of relatedness that when I have some like deep relationships in my life
some like deep relationships in my life
some like deep relationships in my life these are usually very meaningful when
these are usually very meaningful when
these are usually very meaningful when I’m with my loved ones when I with my
I’m with my loved ones when I with my
I’m with my loved ones when I with my family when I with my friends they are
family when I with my friends they are
family when I with my friends they are there what like usually gives my life
there what like usually gives my life
there what like usually gives my life meaning and also because of our deep
meaning and also because of our deep
meaning and also because of our deep relationship I can be meaningful to them
relationship I can be meaningful to them
relationship I can be meaningful to them by just by being there but at the same
by just by being there but at the same
by just by being there but at the same time there’s another dimension that is
time there’s another dimension that is
time there’s another dimension that is connecting to other people which is more
connecting to other people which is more
connecting to other people which is more about the sense of contribution being
about the sense of contribution being
about the sense of contribution being able to have some kind of positive
able to have some kind of positive
able to have some kind of positive impact in the life of the other people

you think about this
you think about this typical examples of meaningful living
typical examples of meaningful living
typical examples of meaningful living like Nelson Mandela or Abraham Lincoln
like Nelson Mandela or Abraham Lincoln
like Nelson Mandela or Abraham Lincoln or Martin Luther King what unites them
or Martin Luther King what unites them
or Martin Luther King what unites them all is that all of them have made a huge
all is that all of them have made a huge
all is that all of them have made a huge contribution towards the mankind that in
contribution towards the mankind that in
contribution towards the mankind that in one way or other they had liked had this
one way or other they had liked had this
one way or other they had liked had this huge contribution and that’s why their
huge contribution and that’s why their
huge contribution and that’s why their life is regarded so meaningful
life is regarded so meaningful
life is regarded so meaningful so this contribution is another strong
so this contribution is another strong
so this contribution is another strong way of finding my life meaningful if

way of finding my life meaningful if unable to make some contribution towards
unable to make some contribution towards
unable to make some contribution towards other people but then later on at some
other people but then later on at some
other people but then later on at some point I realized that this is only half
point I realized that this is only half
point I realized that this is only half to answer to the question of what makes
to answer to the question of what makes
to answer to the question of what makes life meaningful and I realized this when
life meaningful and I realized this when
life meaningful and I realized this when William Damon this professor of

there’s hard to find out an occupation
there’s hard to find out an occupation that would be more meaningful but at the
