Finding Meaning and Purpose in Life
The search for meaning and purpose is a fundamental human experience. At various points in life, you might find yourself questioning what it’s all about—wondering if you’re on the right path, feeling disconnected from what truly matters, or searching for a deeper sense of significance in your daily experiences.
Common Questions About Meaning and Purpose
This existential questioning is normal and often signals an opportunity for growth and transformation. Whether you’re facing a major life transition, feeling unfulfilled despite external success, or simply ready to live with greater intentionality, exploring questions of meaning and purpose can lead to a more satisfying and authentic life.
Many people struggle with questions like:
- What is my purpose in life and how do I find it?
- Why do I feel empty or unfulfilled despite having “everything”?
- How can I make my life feel more meaningful and significant?
- What legacy do I want to leave behind?
- How do I find direction when I feel lost or confused?
- What are my core values and how can I live by them?
- How do I balance personal fulfilment with responsibilities to others?
- What gives my life meaning beyond material success?
- How can I contribute something valuable to the world?
- Why do I feel disconnected from what I used to find meaningful?
These questions often become more pressing during life transitions, midlife, after loss, or during periods of stress and change.
When Meaning and Purpose Feel Unclear
There are many reasons why you might struggle to find meaning and purpose:
- Life transitions such as career changes, relationship endings, or empty nest syndrome
- Achievement without fulfilment reaching goals that don’t bring expected satisfaction
- Value conflicts between what you believe matters and how you’re living
- Social or cultural pressures to pursue paths that don’t align with your authentic self
- Loss and grief that challenges previous sources of meaning
- Depression or anxiety that makes it difficult to connect with what matters
- Overwhelming responsibilities that leave little time for reflection
- Comparison with others leading to feelings of inadequacy or misdirection
- Past trauma that disconnects you from your authentic values and desires
Feeling lost or purposeless is a common human experience, not a personal failing.

Freqeuently asked questions
-
You do not need a referral to see a Psychologist at Seed Psychology. However, if you’d like to claim a Medicare rebate, you will need a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP. With a MHCP, you may be eligible for rebates on up to 10 sessions per calendar year. These sessions can be used at any psychology clinic of your choice. To access Medicare psychology rebates, book an appointment with your GP and ask for a Mental Health Care Plan. Most referrals begin with 6 sessions, with the option to access 4 more after a review. Referrals can also be provided by a psychiatrist or paediatrician.
