Once someone told me to do this exercise to find meaning:

Write a Meaningful Obituary of yourself. You just died. Old age. Your life was an absolute success in all the aspects you care the most. You had all your virtues shining and dominated all your vices and you write about why and how that happened through your life. You write this as the voice of the interviewer even asking details to you "afterlife-self" that is full of joy of leaving Earth in a loving state and peace of mind.

From time to time you can use that to remind yourself of what's really important or re-write the exercise as you mature psychologically as time goes by (your present self might care most about different things that your future self 2 decades from now).
