Grit is impeccably known for its perseverance and passion during merry and arduous times. Meaning in life is another construct that promotes hope, self-efficacy, and resilience. Therefore, light has been shed upon in the present paper assiduously by analysing the last eight years of research studies extensively. Also, grit and meaning in life consequences are numerous yet elusive together therefore for this reason, this paper ought to conduct a systematic review of international studies (Web of Science & Scopus) published between 2015 and 2022, focusing on the effects of grit, meaning in life on physical health among adults. We begin by throwing light on these constructs which are grit, meaning in life, and its two components such as presence and search for meaning. Next, we review the literature that explains how these constructs are related. Cascading through a bundle of reviews, it has been inferred that grit has positive consequences for physical health, and meaning in life is significantly related to physical health. We conclude by discussing the policy implications of this work.
