I once thought that the point of life was purely enjoyment and self actualization. I’m finally coming to understand that it is more about graceful endurance in service to others, in spite of the evil in the world and artificial, imposed challenges. And in doing so, the glorification of God.

Maybe it’s capitulation. Maybe however, I have been an entitled fool for measuring my success and limiting my happiness by the yardstick of the attainment of worldly things and the achievement of personal goals.

The world looks hopeful and salvageable. May my example of service today inspire others to make it so.
