Apply character strengths to find more meaning and purpose in your daily activities
| YOUR STRENGTHS ARE PATHWAYS TO MEANING | Why do you get out of bed in the morning?
Take a moment to reflect on this simple question. Think about what gives you energy and motivates you to enthusiastically approach your day. Your answer is what gives your life meaning.
Creating a meaningful life is a worthy pursuit. Research shows that people with a sense of meaning are healthier, happier and more likely to achieve their goals.
Six character strengths - curiosity, gratitude, perspective, spirituality, social intelligence and appreciation of beauty and excellence are strongly linked with meaning in life. These strengths, as well as your highest strengths, can help you develop a deeper appreciation for small life experiences, build uplifting relationships and connect you to something larger than yourself. | | | Check Out New Resources on Meaning | | | During positive and negative life events, you can choose what you focus on and how you engage in the experience. Our newly released Topics section on Meaning has curated resources and articles to help you find more meaning in your life and see every opportunity as a chance for growth. We''ll continue to add new content to our Topics sections, so check back often for continued support and guidance. | | | Find Meaning in Your Strengths | | All 24 character strengths are important pathways to living a more meaningful life. Our book, The Power of Character Strengths, is a comprehensive guide to exploring your 24 strengths.
In March of this year, we celebrated the book''s first anniversary of release! Over the past year, the response to the book has been overwhelmingly positive, and the message now is more important than ever. When you understand and apply your strengths, you live a more fulfilling, satisfying life.
