There's no single answer that works for everyone, but here are some perspectives people find meaningful:

**Common themes include:**
- Building relationships and connections with others
- Growing as a person and helping others do the same
- Creating something positive - whether art, knowledge, family, or community
- Finding work or causes that feel purposeful
- Experiencing beauty, joy, and wonder
- Reducing suffering and increasing wellbeing

**The question itself might be valuable** - wrestling with it pushes us to examine what truly matters to us personally, rather than accepting someone else's answer.

What resonates with you? Sometimes our sense of meaning comes from multiple sources, and it can evolve throughout our lives.
