It takes meaning to navigate us through life

We need a sense of meaning and purpose to survive

Meaning is the key to resilience

Meaning means PURE = Purpose + Understanding + Responsibility + Enjoyment

Purpose Involves: Life direction Calling & mission Objective & goals Priorities Core values A sense of significance Reasons for living

Understanding Understand self and others Understand the demand of the situation Know right from wrong. Understand one’s role in life Achieve a sense of coherence Can justify one’s own action

Responsibility Freedom of choice Self-determination Internal control & self efficacy Assume responsibility of our own life & action Civic duties A moral agent.

Enjoyment/Evaluation The natural outcome of leading a purposeful and responsible life A sense of well-being & serenity in all circumstances Feel good for doing good This stage involves reflection and sometimes re- evaluation of PURE.

Conclusion: What is the meaning of meaning? A primary human need for survival & flourishing A unique human capacity for transforming negatives into positives A double-cure: repairing and prevention A fourfold-blessing (PURE): Purpose, Understanding, Responsibility and Enjoyment
