What is the purpose of your existence?&rdquo; Would you be able to answer that in a meaningful way? Aligned to that question is: &ldquo;What do you value? What has meaning for you?&rdquo; In my psychotherapy work, the question of MPV &ndash; meaning, purpose, values &ndash; often comes up. Some people claim to be &ldquo;drifting&rdquo;: just being carried along in life without any clear sense of why they are here, or what values are most meaningful for them. Are they happy? Of course not. Do they need to stay stuck at that place of ill-defined purpose? Absolutely not."}
