"What gives my life meaning and purpose?"

Meaning and purpose

• Ask yourself, “What gives my life meaning and purpose?”
• Think about the answers to this question and reflect on how you have committed to each in a way that honors them.  For example if you said “My family provides meaning and purpose in my life.”
• How have I honored my family?
• What actions have I taken?
• What am I feeling “right” now?

Value and belief systems

• Ask yourself, “What are my belief systems?  What do I value?”
• Think about the answers to both of these questions and reflect on how you have committed to each in a way that honors them.  For example if you said “I believe in being respectful of others people’s feelings.  I value kindness.”
• What actions have I taken to support or violate my values and belief system?
• What am I feeling “right” now?
• Do my behaviors reflect inclusion and being open to others?
