The search for why has brought a new light into my world that has spread into every area of darkness in my life. What used to be shallow relationships are digging into deeper more meaningful ones. My emotions, mental state, and physical wellbeing are much more solid. My finances are no longer dictating my life and are simply helping me towards what really matters. The influence I am able to have now in the world around me is much greater than ever before. That does not mean I have all the answers because I do not, or that I have everything I ever want, or that life is perfect because that just is simply not the case. That is the beauty of it though. Even in the midst of struggles I am more fulfilled and at peace than ever before. What has changed? Have you ever felt like there is something more? Why am I here? What can I do? What is my why? Do I make a difference? Do I really matter? What is the point? [1:50] Stephen R. Covey was one of the people whose life work changed the trajectory of the world.
