I'm pulling this from John Vervaeke and people like him.
People need a meaning in their lives. The things people find that are most meaningful are things which matter to the person, but also things to which the person matters. That's why having kids is so often a meaningful thing. They're super important to you, but you're literally everything to them. (Not to say you should have kids or whatnot, just an example)
So you've gotta figure out how to add meaning to your life. What do you care about? Think it's awful that families can't put food on the table? Start volunteering at food banks or soliciting donations for them, work yourself into an important position at an organization that helps with the problem. You'll probably find that meaningful.
Think it's a shame that a lot of kids don't have a proper role model? Become a big brother / big sister and make a difference for a kid like that.
Nobody can really tell you what you'll find meaning from, but the formula is pretty simple. Find something that matters to you. Make yourself matter to that thing.
