## Transcript
**[0:00]** You will never understand why you're here, if you don't know the one who brought you here. You will never understand why you were blessed with this, if you don't know what it means to be a blessing yourself. You will never understand why you're in pain, if you don't believe in the

**[0:16]** virtue of patience. You will never make sense of this life, if you don't believe in an afterlife. You will never know who you are, if you don't know who you want to become. You will never know where you are going, if you don't know where you came from.

**[0:34]** We live in a world full of suffering meant to wake us from our slumber. But if we constantly dwell on what we feel like missed us, we may be missing out on something far greater. A greater sense of purpose. A greater sense of self-worth. A life with less questions

**[0:52]** and more answers. A life with more certainty and less confusion. A life of meaning where we learn to live in harmony with divine decree, and in pursuit of the pleasure of our Lord who created us and our stories, so that we could come to know Him and the best version of ourselves.

**[1:10]** You may have asked before, why me? But have you ever asked, why not me?
