I think that things are worthwhile when you get a sense of achievement or satisfaction from things.

Say someone does voluntary work and they know that they are helping a good cause or other people with what they do. Knowing that you have helped somone is a wonderful feeling.

Completing an art project or writing a book would also bring the same feelings. A person would feel proud of themselves and feel like they have accomplished something by completing their project.

In some cases, hard-work can make things worthwhile, like when people have worked really hard and are then rewarded with a promotion, that gives a sense of fulfillment.

In my case, seeing my boyfriend smile when I have cooked tea and then my cats sitting purring on my knee makes anything worthwhile :)
