My current definition would be something like this: There is a meta-purpose, a higher purpose to life: to discover our true selves and to be more and more of our true selves each day, mostly by stripping away all that is not who/what we really are, to reveal and experience our true essence, and this gives meaning and purpose to life itself. Then, coming from our true selves, we get to decide how we wish to live and how we wish to make our lives meaningful—which is often by how we wish to contribute to life on this planet—as in "the difference we want to make while we’re here."
The actionable steps or practices that help you establish what is meaningful to you is greatly facilitated by discovering, clarifying, and prioritizing your personal values.
