Most people would like to feel that their life stands for something good and that they are making a difference. This is what meaning is all about. If you would like to add meaning to your life, commit yourself to being a kind and good human being. Become the reason that others believe in the goodness of people—someone who does the right thing again and again not because you’re looking for validation or a “thank you,” but because you care. Be the reason that someone smiles or laughs or feels good about themself. If you do this, your life will stand for something good, and you will be making a difference.
