How does philosophy help you define/create meaning in your life?


Details
The following comes from an article in the Summer edition of the New Humanist Magazine (https://newhumanist.org.uk/articles/6443/minds-in-search-of-meaning). 'As big questions go, you can’t get much bigger than “What is the meaning of life?” It is a question that is often modified slightly, becoming “Does life have a purpose?” One can quibble over the semantics, but for most people, meaning and purpose overlap significantly. If you are looking for a purpose, you are probably also looking for meaning. Some studies show that worry is a debilitating condition for 3-8% of the population and a significant cluster of worries relates to existential concerns, particularly the fear of a life without purpose. Recent studies reveal a growing 'meaning crisis,' especially among young adults, leading to increased mental health challenges. Research indicates that having a sense of meaning is crucial for both mental and physical health, with purpose linked to longevity.'
As many of you know, Albert Camus's absurdism states that if we ask the universe the above question, the universe is silent--there is no meaning to life and so we have to create our own meaning(s). So I thought an interesting prompt to connect philosophy to the above question would be: "How does philosophy help you create/define meaning in your life and which particular schools of philosophy are most useful to you?"
