The meaning of life isn't found in wealth, fame, or achievements, as demonstrated by figures like Leo Tolstoy who despite great success fell into despair. The biblical answer comes from Micah 6:8, which calls us to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. Three main obstacles prevent meaningful living: our internal struggles with insecurity and validation-seeking, constant phone distractions that eliminate reflection time, and pursuing meaningless goals focused on achievement rather than relationships. Tolstoy discovered this truth among simple peasant farmers who lived out these principles daily. The key is finding meaning moment by moment through doing right, loving well, and keeping company with God.
