“The meaning of life is meaning: whatever it is, wherever it comes from, a unified purpose is what gives meaning to life”
— Mihaly Csíkszentmihalyi

Simplified Meaning:
Life feels important when it has a purpose. This purpose can be different for each person and can come from various sources like family, work, or hobbies. For example, a teacher may find meaning in helping students learn and grow, while an artist might find it in creating beautiful paintings. Having a goal or something to strive for brings direction and satisfaction. Just like a ship needs a destination to embark on a journey, people need a guiding purpose to feel fulfilled. Without this, life can seem aimless and empty. To apply this idea, think about what gives you joy and a sense of achievement. Set goals that align with these passions, and work towards them. By doing so, you'll find that your life feels richer and more meaningful.
