Meaning in Life

The goal of Breitbart’s MCP model is to help individuals reconnect to different sources of meaning in their lives. These four sources are: (1) Historical, (2) Attitudinal, (3) Creative, and (4) Experiential.

  • Historical: Consider your life as a storybook with a legacy given to you (past), a story you are currently living (present), and a story to give (future). What are the traditions, values, or messages that have been passed down to you from earlier generations? How do they impact how you live today? How and what will people around you learn from you?
  • Attitudinal: Reflect on the adversities you have faced in your life and the choices you made to address these challenges.
  • Creative: How do you engage in and take responsibility for your own life? This could be through creative acts, work, support for social causes, or family commitments.
  • Experiential: Consider using your five senses to engage the world (e.g., make yourself a warm cup of tea while enjoying the aroma, or give a hug to a friend in need). Identify how you are connecting with life through love, relationships, nature, art, and humor.

Values

  • Ask yourself, “In rank order, what are the 10 things that matter the most in my life right now?" and “How would I cope with losing any of them?”.
  • Ask yourself, “What kind of person am I now?”, “What kind of person do I want to become?”, and “Are my actions in line with the person I want to be?”
  • Reflect upon which person has had the greatest influence on your core values.
