Many of us do not know how to live because we have not settled the question of why we live. Without meaning, we borrow standards from others, measure ourselves against our peers, and use the lives of strangers as our compass. We worry endlessly about a life we barely understand and that could end at any moment.

Some say, "Your life is in your hands," yet there is irony in claiming ownership of something we spend our entire lives chasing, trying to understand, and ultimately cannot keep forever. Perhaps life is less about possession and more about stewardship.
The day we discover meaning is the day we truly begin to live. Until then, we are often merely reacting, comparing, competing, and surviving.

Yet meaning itself is not always the same for everyone. We encounter life through different experiences, burdens, opportunities, and revelations. What gives one person purpose may not satisfy another. Meaning is often found at the intersection of our convictions, experiences, responsibilities, and relationships.

Life becomes less confusing when we stop asking how to live like others and begin asking why we have been given the life that is ours. For it is not in comparison that life is understood, but in purpose that it is lived
