Let's Say I Achieve "Meaning." What Do I Do Next?

It seems to me to be a form of equivocation.

Life can be meaningful without applying that standard to every tiny facet of it, I think.

I was trying to explore whether or not meaning was ultimately what I'm looking for.  I was seeing whether having the maximum possible meaning in my life is what I really want.
