There is a difference between purpose and meaning, yet these two concepts are interconnected. Defining our purpose and meaning can lead to having a happier life, and engaging in acts of altruism can increase our sense of purpose. Our definition of self, and our purpose changes over life, and we require resilience in order to sustain a meaningful life. Creating life balance is a crucial skill in pursuit of the definition of life purpose, and self-meaning. Finding our purpose and meaning is a life-long pursuit, and having a clear definition of self is key to creating and maintaining health and wellness.
