Robert Byrne once wrote, “The purpose of life is a life with purpose”. 

Let me ask you…what’s the purpose of your life?

In a similar vein, Viktor Frankl, survivor of three Nazi prison camps, once observed that it is not so much the responsibility of each of us to answer the question ‘what is the meaning of life?’, but more our responsibility, even opportunity to know that is the question all of life is asking: what is the meaning YOU are attaching to YOUR life.

Lately I’ve discovered it’s gotta be about more than my work. A wise man once told me “never base your worth in anything you can lose”. That goes for work, relationships, wealth, and so many other things.

I’m coming to believe that meaning is about the importance we attach to any number of things in life. And purpose? That’s more about what we will do with our unique gifts, abilities, energy, and perspective. 

And beyond that, what if purpose is attached to something greater? Like what our Creator had in mind when He put OUR distinct piece of the puzzle here. Now that’s something we can spend a lifetime coming to grasp.
