Find Meaning

You can be better at anything if you can find meaning and inspiration behind it. You may even find a way to enjoy something that is not fun. Start today and pick out something that you must do regularly. What is the purpose? What does it mean for you? Is it something you enjoy or a chore? Especially if it’s a chore, find a meaning behind it.

Here are some simple examples:

Laundry. Not many of us enjoy washing and folding clothes but the purpose is so we, or our children, can be clean and feel good about how we look in those laundered clothes. You can be proud of how nicely you present yourself in a freshly laundered blouse.

Work. Why do you have to work 8 hours per day? A great purpose for that is put food in our bellies and have a roof over our head. Your purpose may be to save for college for a child or to be able to retire comfortably. You are part of the more fortunate in the world if you have a job.

Today and everyday, make it purposeful.
