Finding Purpose: How Meaning Shapes Our Happiness
This idea of finding meaning- and how do we go about doing that- is inherently a driver for most of us, and if we can, it is. It can easily feed into goal setting, it can easily feed into relating.
What really makes us happy? In this episode of the 'Life Changes YOU' podcast, Daniel dives into the fascinating topic of finding meaning in our lives. Alongside his guest, they explore how discovering purpose can significantly boost our overall well-being. Inspired by Martin Seligman, the founder of positive psychology, they discuss how striving for something beyond ourselves can lead to a more fulfilling life.
The conversation touches on how spirituality, which isn't always tied to religion, plays a role in this journey. They emphasize that meaning is deeply personal and can't be dictated by others. Life experiences like parenthood and significant events often propel us towards finding that purpose, enhancing our sense of security and happiness. The episode wraps up with a powerful reminder: self-actualization is a continuous process, something we must work on every day.
