With everything going on in the world, we find ourselves asking “why are we alive? What is our purpose?” There is a common and beautiful question we can ask ourselves to help us discover our purpose: How do I use what I have (resources, knowledge, challenges) to help other people? But most people are so busy looking for a huge cosmic, macro “life project,” when most probably your purpose is right in front of you.  So today, look at your life and ask yourself, where are you needed?...
