Excellence Reporter: Rick, what is the meaning of Life?
Rick Phillips: The meaning of life is really about finding the meaning and purpose that is uniquely your own, it’s your own particular “life force”. I believe that having meaning, which is synonymous with having a reason for living, a reason for doing, a reason for getting up each day with a sense of purpose.
Having meaning and purpose helps to set our direction in life. For me personally, the meaning in my life can be said this way; My personal mission, is to start everyday knowing that I am here to do three things; love, learn and to serve, and every day, I find innumerable ways to do just that.
When you have meaning in your life, it’s like having a “compass”, a compass that helps to set and guide your actions in every encounter and in every situation. Remember; Meaning Matters.
