Are you searching for meaning in the wrong places? Here are the 4 real sources of meaning—and why most of us miss them.
No matter how many people like you, how successful you are, or how perfect your life looks on paper, you might still feel like a deeper sense of meaning is missing. That’s because research shows that humans consistently find deep, lasting meaning in four places—and none of them have anything to do with achieving, earning, getting others’ approval, or doing what you were told you “should.”
In this article, we’ll unpack each of those four sources; explore how modern culture seduces us away from them; and demystify how we can meaningfully reconnect with them—particularly during times of transition—to find the North Star we didn’t realize we were missing.
9 powerful journal prompts to celebrate your growth in 2024—and envision a bold, values-aligned 2025.

These 9 end-of year journaling prompts include 3 questions for learning from 2024; 3 questions for celebrating 2024; and 3 questions for envisioning a bold 2025.
