The Human Quest for Meaning Quotes

“For idealists who embrace a meaning mindset, the good life lies in the heroic struggle to realize an ideal. Their life satisfaction is beyond pleasure and pain; it is beyond success and failure. The meaning mindset makes sense of the self and one's place in life throughout the ups and downs of the path one has chosen. Life satisfaction is based not on calculating the ration between positives and negatives, but on beliefs, values, and a whole-hearted dedication to a worthy mission, regardless of the outcome.”
