You're searching for meaning and don't know where to look

The search for meaning need not be the blind wandering it feels like — there are places to look, and your own life is already pointing to some of them. Look where you already feel most alive — the moments when you feel fullest and most moved are clues, the compass needle of your being indicating where meaning lives for you, so notice what quickens you and makes the time disappear, and follow those threads. Meaning tends to live in love, work, and the sacred — though each person's meaning is their own, most human meaning is found in these great territories, connection with others, work that uses your gifts and helps, and the sense of something larger, so explore these deliberately and see where the meaning is most alive for you. And you find meaning by engaging, not by searching from outside — you do not locate meaning by standing back and looking but generate it by throwing yourself into loving and working and serving, so stop searching from the sidelines and dive in, letting the meaning arise from the engagement. Where do you already feel most alive?
