The Meaning of Life

Group members list five things that give meaning to their lives.

Give each person an index card and have them write 5 words that would complete this statement: ____________ give meaning to my life. For example: "My children give meaning to my life". Or, "My job gives meaning to my life".

Then have everyone share their words with the group.
