This question struck me when, during a highlight on his life on Saturday, Apolo introduced the challenge to ask yourself this question at the end of every day. As he stated, it is very difficult to be able answer with a yes every day. Certainly we are not all striving for Olympic medals, but we all have a purpose to be living for. As a Christian the core to this is a higher purpose. God does not expect us to not fail and fall down, but He desires and calls us to devote ourselves wholeheartedly pursue Him and the opportunities He fills each day with.
