As a child, I was asked ‘what do you want to be when you grow up?’ At different times, I may have answered a doctor or an archaeologist. Mostly I did not know. Later I learned about the idea of a soul having a Life mission on earth. I liked the idea but again did not know my answer. Always I wanted to know the ‘right’ thing and do the ‘right’ thing. Results varied.
I have laboured under the delusion that all my problems would go away if I was doing the right things for my Life mission. But maybe I am wrong about the ‘magic bullet’ kind of change. Maybe it is smaller and simpler.
Keep opening my heart.
