When we speak of something missing from our lives, often we are referring to a lack of meaning.
When you have found meaning, you will likely experience it as having found a way to express yourself in the world; an expression which has the power to be both deeply gratifying to you and, transformative to the world around you. Tapping into your creativity to solve a problem, aligning yourself with a philosophy or cause, or, connecting deeply with the natural world and its inhabitants, are just some of the ways you can bring meaning into your life.
