If someone we love chooses to sit by the mountainside or go swimming in the nearby stream while we wish to keep climbing, we have a choice to make. Do we forge ahead, or lag behind? The choice is ours to make. How can we best be true to ourselves? Though we love this person, can we be happy staying behind? Where does our responsibility lie? Does it lie with us, or with the one we love? Responsibility involves making choices that aren't always easy.

So when you wonder what your purpose in life is, or what your work is, consider this: No matter what else you may choose to do with your life, if in all, or most, of your waking moments, you are experiencing joy, then you have fulfilled your reason for coming to this lifetime.
Chief Joseph
“…many people – no doubt you, too – are being called into a deeper experience of God in many ways. That is what a mystic is – someone who wants to engage in direct dialogue with God. That desire ignites an interior flame that burns for the rest of your life, lighting your way.”
