…….. At a deeper, life-engendering level, very few of us know what our purpose is, what we truly want, and then continue to live unhappily without knowing why …….
Author’s Comment: We have so many conflicting wants and desires, often at battle amongst themselves to be the first to become fulfilled. And how tempting it is to choose those which are easier to attain and give a temporary high, rather than others which take an effort but enliven your whole life (in mind, body and spirit). Sorry to say that I myself have fallen victim to this trap, constantly searching for my grander purpose and meddling in too many activities, some of which move me more towards fulfillment while others lead me astray. How fortunate is the one who finds her purpose and dedicates herself thereto!
