Discovering Meaning in Every Moment

Step One: Embrace the Gift of Life

Ground yourself in this moment.  As you tune into your life – whatever may feel stable and whatever may feel overwhelming – acknowledge this fundamental truth: Your life is a precious gift.

Now reflect on these questions:

• Where might I be taking this gift for granted?
• How am I intentionally acknowledging and expressing what I am grateful for in my life?

Remember, how you respond to the gifts in your life is your choice. But the choice you make will shape your entire perspective and experience of whatever is before you.

Step Two: Remember the Good

Meaning is an “act of remembering”. Continue this practice by remembering what is good in your life.

First, think of a recent joy:

• What made this moment meaningful to you?
• How did this experience connect you to something larger than yourself?

Now recall a moment of difficulty in your life. Look deeper:

• Who or what supported you during that time?
• What goodness carried you through that challenge?
• What strength or wisdom did you discover within yourself?

As you remember these experiences, notice how meaning reveals itself not in the events themselves, but in your perspective and the good that you recognize within them.

Step Three: Discover Meaning in the Present

Finally, turn your attention to this very moment. Look around you with fresh eyes:

• What do you see, hear, or feel that you’re grateful for right now?
• Where do you sense an invitation to respond to life with purpose?

Remember, meaning isn’t something you need to chase or manufacture. It’s already here, waiting to be discovered. Your task is simply to notice and appreciate it.
