  • What is meaningful?

  • Whatever you believe is meaningful

  • Whatever makes you feel good

  • That could be doing things that make you happy

  • Things that make other people happy

  • Making a better life for yourself or your family

  • Making a better life for everyone in the world

  • Activities which produce joy for you at the moment

  • Activities which show you’re better than other people

  • Learning from other people to become better

  • Whatever it is you find meaningful

  • There are some actions people agree upon as meaningful: helping people out of poverty, making people happier, teaching people, solving the world's problems, etc.

  • Those are meaningful because we’ve decided they are meaningful

  • But meaningful can be whatever you decide is meaningful

  • It could be taking a breath, reading your kids a story before bedtime, making a million dollars, staying healthy

  • You decide what is meaningful

  • Decide what is meaningful and then take action to increase your happiness
