The only way to find meaning is to actually be present. The more experience you have with having those resilient moments, the stronger you become over time. I think my grandmother was the strongest person I've ever met because she had the craziest, craziest moment of sacrificing trauma happened to her being a small child in a concentration camp. So no matter what situation you're in, you can absolutely find real meaning in it if you search for it.
