What should I let go off?

To hear the voice calling, and to say yes to it, means saying no to a lot of other good and wonderful opportunities in life. Happiness is not found on the road of as many as possible experiences, but rather on the road of focused experiences.

Former UN secretary general, Dag Hammarskjöld, writes about how he said yes. From that moment on, his life was filled with meaning and he was convinced that he was here on earth for a purpose. He says, “Until you have excluded all the superficial and fleeting possibilities of being and doing with, you toy out of curiosity or wonder or greed, and what hinder you from casting anchor in the experience of the mystery of your life, and the consciousness of the talent entrusted to you which is your I.”

Even though we keep searching and experimenting to come to our true selves, we need to cast anchor somewhere in order to find a place where we can begin to live and serve.

Reflection

You are invited to let go of the things that you need to let go of, the ways of being and doing that keep you from, or make you ineffective at, serving.

Grace

Lord, I ask for the grace to awaken to my life-work.
