Whatever our obligations, responsibilites, or daily routine are-- it's become very apparent to me that doing what we love to do in our life makes things significantly simpler. (Which doesn't necessarily mean easier!)
Hardly anything is more cumbersome and soul sucking than submitting to a vocation that does not suit our passion and inner joy.
From my own experience, a tell tale indication that I am doing what I love to do is evident in the way I am feeling. Am I relaxed? At ease? Content? Reasonably Happy? Connecting with others in a genuine way? Taking pride in my duties? Physically feeling good? Mentally present to the "now"?
If not, I am probably enduring an activity that is not inline with my natural inclinations.
Kinda like when you into go to a store or restaurant and you see someone who obviously is not digging what they do for work... it is usually an unpleasant interaction to say the least.
When I am doing what I love to do it usually overflows into all of my interactions and relationships. I am measurabely a better husband, brother, uncle, and friend.
Ultimately, as an adult (which is kinda tough when you have the maturity of a seventeen year old-- hahaha) it is our responsibilty to seek out that which we love to do in our vocation or daily routine. Noone will do it for you. If its handed to you, its harder to appreciate.
These are just thoughts that came to me in my coffee-filled-veins this morning as I am determined to trudge the road to happy and insightful destiny.
