As humans, we can’t help but gravitate toward finding meaning in our lives. We search for it in the pages of books and browse for it in the aisles of stores. We seek it out at work and pursue it in our relationships. We watch movies and shows to help make sense of our experiences.

Big or small, a sense of significance in our reality is vital. In this month’s Shondaland series, The Meaning of Purpose, we’re examining what motivates us to seek out authenticity and offering perspectives on the strongest ways to become our best selves.

From uncovering fresh perspectives on faith to discovering new leases on life, there is a vast array of ways in which we can make meaning out of our journeys, assign purpose to our decisions, and do good in our world.
