I think at this point, we know what purpose and meaning is.

Purpose and meaning is something much larger than ourself.

It is like Bob Buford said, a cause, something larger than ourselves that we are living for, that we are serving, that we are glorifying.

We have to get small.

Faith is getting small to then have a purpose that is rooted in something larger.

So we've identified what purpose and meaning is, but what is fulfillment?

What does it mean to be truly fulfilled?

And to be fulfilled, we need satisfaction.

Like Arthur C. Brooks said, happiness is a combination of enjoyment, satisfaction, and purpose.

Well, what is satisfaction?

Satisfaction is the joy that you get from an accomplishment after struggle.

After struggle.

This is why it feels really good to set these really big goals.

ambitious goals and then work towards them.

Maybe that's the house with a dog out front and the white picket fence and the family with two kids and there's like that tire swing in the backyard and the ideal American dream.

Maybe that's what it looks like.
