Living With Purpose, Instead Of Searching For It

"Forget finding a purpose. Live with purpose instead." - Jon Acuff

The idea is that seeking to determine some singular purpose for your life can be overwhelming or discouraging. I suppose there's an analogy to investing money - searching for one perfect stock is extraordinarily time-consuming, not to mention dangerously narrow.

Is it worthwhile instead to simply do what you love to do, as best you can?

- What gesture of kindness can you give to co-workers?
- What creativity can you bring tonight to your family?
- Where can you and your spouse go for a date this weekend?
- What might you do on your next vacation?
- What is your dream? How would you like your life to be in five years? What's one small step in that direction?
