Find your own constructs that work for you then. There is little point to be gained in waiting for someone to come along and provide the answer for you.

The only meaning is that which you create for yourself. Going "looking for meaning" is a fools quest. Going out to "create meaning for your life" is a wholly different matter entirely. Anyone can do it, many do it without realising it.

Asking other people to provide an answer to the question "how might I give my life meaning" is also something of a fools errand. Some will just tell you what you want to hear. Others will sell you what you want to hear. None of them are actually better placed to answer the question than yourself.

And the first step is to start, rigourously and methodically, asking yourself what you can do to create meaning for yourself.
