BE IN THE QUESTION
At the gym this morning I ran into my old friend Denny who has been on a similar path as my own…Always looking for meaning and at the same time enjoying the quest. It’s what we like to do.
Many of us at different times in our life have felt despair over finding meaning in our life. Usually this stems around work. Many find themselves in work that satisfies their pocketbook but not their soul. The struggle is balancing the energy it takes to be effective in the world of commerce with having a meaningful life. And since so much energy goes into the job or career there is not much left over. So what can we do and what shifts in attitude can we make that will make it easier for ourself?
Obviously this question can’t be fully addressed in this brief blog but perhaps an insight I have might give you greater clarity. Shift your focus from looking for the answer which in most cases is finding one’s purpose and meaning to enjoying the quest, the exploration of what that purpose is…Your purpose is to be in the question and to align yourself with others who are asking the same questions. When you align yourself with others who are exploring the same question as you, usually you find that you share the same values. And it is our values that give us meaning. Your PURPOSE is to keep asking these questions because that is when you will be fully awake.
