“Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it”

— Joseph Campbell

Simplified Meaning:

We decide what gives our lives purpose. It is not something we find out there, but something we create ourselves. For example, if someone loves helping others, they might become a doctor or a volunteer. This work makes their life feel valuable to them. Similarly, a parent might find joy and importance in raising their children. What makes life meaningful can be different for each person - it's up to us to create that meaning through what makes us feel fulfilled and happy.
