Here’s how to find meaning in life:

• Belong to a group: I’ll be at lunch with Andy and the guys. Where will you be?
• Give your work purpose: You’re not emptying trash cans. You’re helping get a man on the moon.
• Craft your story: End it with redemption, not contamination, and become the superhero of your life.
• Transcendence: Nature is big. Your problems are small.

Life can be hard. But remember, while the difficult moments may decrease happiness, they’re essential for building meaning. And that’s what matters in the long run.

We flourish around friends. Unbearable stress becomes yet another challenge when you have purpose. A superhero origin story gives you hope and redemption. And nature makes your big problems seem tiny.

Collect all four and you’re on your way to learning the meaning of your life.

And that’s a lot more important that learning what a rhombus is.
