Throughout our lives, there are things we long for. Our dreams and aspirations have an impact on us our whole life long, whether we ever get exactly what we want or not - because they determine the choices we make.
"Longing is a compass that guides us through life. We may never get what we really want, that's true, but every step along the way will be determined by it. So, when something goes wrong, it isn't so much what we did that's wrong; it's what we wanted so badly that we went the wrong way to get it that is in question. What do you want in life right now? What kinds of things are you doing as a result of it? Is it bringing the best out of you?..." (Joan Chittister)
I've come to the conclusion that we can work and want and work some more. But the fruition of our deepest dreams and longings is always a gift!
