Listen "So, What Is It?"

Episode Synopsis

Here’s a question for you: what is it that you most want out of this life?
And here are 5 hurdles that it seems to me have to be cleared in arriving at a solid, worthwhile answer:
1 — It has to be the highest and noblest good you can see yourself doing.
Why would aim for anything short of that?
2 — It has to be pursuable regardless of your age or the state of your health right up to your last day on earth.
If age or health can shut down you getting what you most want out of life then your vision is too narrow — too dependent on factors outside of your control.
3 — It has to be something you consider so worthwhile that you face every adversity, disappointment, or regret along the way, ready to use it to grow closer to your goal like a flower uses the sunshine.
4 — It has to be something so important that it demands all your attention and energies — 24/7 — which means that you know that unless you have a power beyond your own constantly helping you, namely God, you will not be able to fulfill it.
5 — It has to be something that death itself cannot take from you.
Why would you commit your life time and energy to something that death will ultimately take from you?
So, what is it? What is it that you most want out of this life? And did it clear each of those hurdles?
