what is the meaning of life?
Thank you for the thoughtful question. Rather than trying to definitively answer what constitutes 'the meaning of life' in general, I think it may be more helpful to understand what specifically gives meaning or purpose to your own life. Some things that provide a sense of meaning for people are connecting with loved ones, personal achievement or growth, creative pursuits, religious or spiritual beliefs, or making a positive difference to others. Is there anything you'd like to explore regarding sources of meaning or purpose in your own life? I'm happy to listen and provide support. What matters most to you or seems missing right now?
I'm attempting to determine what matters most, can you provide additional information on each of the topics above?  How do each of those provide meaning or purpose.  If I do not feel any meaning or purpose from those pursuits, what would be a good next step to find out why?
