Meaning is not something you stumble across
like the answer to a riddle or the prize in a treasure hunt
Meaning is something you build into your life
You build it out of your own past
out of your affections and loyalties
out of the experience of humankind
as it is passed on to you
out of your own talent and understanding,
out of the things you believe in
out of the things and people you love
out of the values for which you are willing
to sacrifice something.
The ingredients are there. You are the only one
who can put them together into that unique pattern
that will be your life. Let it be a life that has dignity
and meaning for you. If it does,
then the particular balance of success
or failure is of less account.
