Meaning in your life

Most clients I see struggle with the concept of having meaning in life.  In my opinion, I think parents from day one need to be counseling about having a meaning in their lives and begin to develop meaning in their kids lives.  We have become such a give your kid everything society, but how much do we teach to give.  How much do we lead by example and show how to give to others and talk about how giving can create meaning.  We always talk about what people do for a living, but do we talk about how what they do gives them meaning in life.  Instead, we talk about how much money that person makes and how much they have compared to others.  Maybe a new concept can be born, in that a person has more when they give more and with what they do gives them a meaning to be on this earth.  Not giving monetarily, but physically.
