I've walked around properties and trimmed dead/suckers off trees that were not part of the job...because I enjoy taking care of trees. The meaning for me was just based line maintenance, what should be done regardless. But it was much more meaningful to the client.
A bicycle is not very meaningful as a functional bicycle if it has a broken chain and 2 flat tires....unless it a decorative lawn ornament in your yard of your child's first bike they'e long outgrown.
I think the two, personal meaning and harmonious living, can be and ideally are compatible.
Certainly. If you are true to yourself (inner), it follows that you are true to others and environment (outer)
