Whether you're a professional athlete, startup founder, lawyer, doctor or anything in between, finding meaning is essential. You can have fame, wealth, status, and friends and still not have meaning. And without meaning, what is the difference between living and dying?
I was reading someone who pointed out that across history most cultures helped their members, especially the young men, by symbolically moving them from childhood to adulthood. In the West, we don't do that. I think that makes the need for meaning even greater.
Meaning is earned.
