Are happiness and meaning the same?

There's a difference between happiness and meaning. Happiness is a feeling and it's fleeting. It'll come and it'll go. People that seek happiness in their work will often at some points find themselves disappointed. People that seek meaning in their work, it's a very different kind of a thing. You can suffer through things in order to get to something that's meaningful. And that suffering also has meaning.
