I don't think meaning is a path that can be forced. You have to figure it out on your own. What I would suggest is focus on things where the journey brings you happiness and satisfaction not the potential outcome. I like to code just for the sake of learning and coding and "making things move". Whether that skills translates into a successful business or app idea or not is irrelevant to me. I have several hobbies I treat this way. "Doing the thing" is what brings me pleasure, not the romanticized idea that I will be successful doing it or become some master of it in the future.
