“People have a basic need for meaning, purpose, and direction in life”

Simplified Meaning:
Every person wants to understand why their life matters and what they should do with it. Think about someone who wants to feel happy and fulfilled. They might take up a hobby, work hard in their job, or help others. Each of these activities gives them a reason to get up in the morning and feel good about themselves. Just like plants need sunlight and water to grow, people need a sense of purpose to really thrive. When people find their purpose, they feel more content and motivated, and their lives feel more meaningful.
