What's the Secret to Happiness and Mental Wellness?
Too many people struggle to find the secret to happiness. |
Belonging is a fundamental human need, woven from the threads of family, community, and culture. It starts with the warmth of acceptance from loved ones, a foundation of security built on shared experiences and unwavering support. Ultimately, belonging thrives on acceptance. When a group embraces your unique identity, it allows you to explore and express yourself freely. This fosters positive relationships built on mutual support and understanding, a sense of contentment that comes from knowing you're not alone. Belonging is a two-way street, requiring effort and a willingness to contribute to the group's well-being. By nurturing these connections, we create a world where everyone feels seen, valued, and part of something bigger than themselves. | Purpose is having something to do in one’s life, whether it is through education, employment, caregiving, or cultural ways of being and doing.

A feeling of purpose can control behavior, shape goals, provide a sense of direction, and give life meaning. Some people associate their vocation—meaningful, fulfilling work—with their sense of purpose. Others find meaning in the obligations they have to their family or friends. Others look for significance in spirituality or in their religious convictions. In all these facets of life, some people may find their purpose is plainly conveyed. |
Meaning is seeing how one’s life is part of something bigger than just oneself, and how one’s life is part of their family, and community. Meaning is a sense of value that each of us can obtain in different ways, such as through friendships, creativity, professional success, or kindness to name a few. According to research, having a sense of purpose in life is linked to healthier habits like exercise and a better diet, higher levels of life satisfaction, and a decreased risk of depression. On the other hand, negative signs like despair, anxiety, and suicide have been linked to a feeling of emptiness or lack of value in life. The correlation between sadness and insufficient certainty of life's significance and suicidal ideation shows that many people are going through a crisis of meaning. If you are experiencing an unfulfilled life that feels like it lacks belonging, purpose, and meaning, you are encouraged to seek help – reach out and talk to someone who can help.
