The ability to find meaning through activity is a central theme in life and an essential component of successful aging. Engaging in personally meaningful activities is described by older adults as indispensable. The significance arises from personally relevant themes that develop from past and current experiences and have an impact on one's own life as well as on the lives of others. Although people engage in different activities depending on their experiences, culture, or society and its values, the meaning of these activities varies from individual to individual. The subjective significance attributed to a particular activity can only be determined by each person individually.
