They can become topics to discuss, analyze, share, and in doing so discover that personal experience becomes more meaningful, as is guided by specific values for which a life and occupational identity is structured, that is something to live for. It is supported by research and clinical experience, especially those made in projects on healthy aging, design life in young people, changes in planning life over the years and also in the reflections on happiness and aspirations, among others. The conclusions emphasized the importance of supporting evidence for future action and put some questions to start working from this model.
