One step towards finding your meaning and purpose is evaluating the things in your life that hold the most importance in your life. Your friends, family, job, etc. If you are not happy in any one of these things it will make it very hard for you to find your spiritual meaning and purpose because you won't be pursuing any of these areas with the dedication and passion that you need to find your spiritual direction. You made to make some hard decisions and changes in your life before you can truly gain the spiritual meaning and purpose you deserve.
What it really comes down to is this; know what you want and know why you want it Discover your talents and passions and don't forget to use them everyday. Work hard and work smart. Don't let anyone take away from your dedication and passion. Give and love unconditionally. You don't want expectations from others so you shouldn't expect things from others in return.
