Seeking out and finding a purpose in life can be one of the most difficult and also most rewarding endeavors you can undertake.

Author’s Comment: This month’s reflections focus on making the effort to find what is truly important for you, and and what you deeply FEEL is your life’s purpose. For better or for worse, nobody else can tell you what that is, though many people (friends, parents,….), media (social media, advertisements, ….) and institutions (schools, churches, governments,….) will try. Some of the goodly intentioned may provide sound counsel, but, in the end, only you can determine where your life mission lies.
