How are you able to identify meaning and purpose in your day to day life?

I’ve been noticing that, for me, it comes from the little moments when my kids text me something mundane that they know will make me smile.

Odd isn’t it?

When I was on my 20s I was captured by the, “Don’t waste your life!” ideal of the evangelical Christian subculture. The thought that small, regular, mundane little things would or could provide meaning and purpose simply seemed ridiculous at the time.

I thought true meaning and purpose could only come from great broad influence. It turns out that being fully present in my day to day life has done that more than I could have ever hoped or imagined.
