2.7 Reflection
Reflection
Text Description
Reflect on the following questions:
-
- Reflect on a moment when you felt most aligned with one of the potential sources of meaning discussed in this chapter (e.g., serving others, creativity, nature, etc.). What specifically made that experience meaningful, and how can you integrate more of it into your daily life?
- Consider a significant challenge or barrier you have faced (e.g., fear, societal pressure, lack of clarity, unresolved trauma, disconnection, or a life transition). How did it impact your sense of purpose, and what strategies helped (or could help) you move forward?
- Think about a key relationship or community connection that has shaped your identity. In what ways does this bond contribute to your sense of purpose or legacy, and how might you strengthen it further?
- Recall a time when learning, personal achievement, or self-responsibility played a significant role in deepening your sense of meaning. What motivated you to pursue that path, and what did you learn about your own values and strengths?
- Identify an area of your life that currently feels out of sync with your core values or aspirations. What small, concrete steps could you take to address any fears or obstacles and realign this area with your broader sense of purpose?
