A sense of meaning
A sense of meaning is the experience that one's life, actions, or suffering have meaning, direction, and value.
Definition
A sense of meaning connects everyday actions with values, relationships, goals, and the broader narrative of one's life. It doesn't have to mean one big mission; is often created through the consistency of small choices. In psychology, it is an important element of well-being, resilience and motivation, especially in times of difficulty.
