on discovering our Purpose … (03/04/09)
There is a great book called “The Three Questions” by Jon J. Muth.
It’s technically a “children’s book”, and yet could just as easily occupy a space on every adult’s nightstand. In short, Muth (who is essentially putting Tolstoy’s work of the same name into parable form for kids) notes that the “Right thing to Do” is allWays a service that lessens the burden(s) of another, that is performed for the person(s) in your closest physical proximity, and that is done in the present moment.
I’m not so sure of my own “Life Mission” these days, and yet when I simplify things and humble my ego, it is allWays easy to find a Soul “in need” very nearby for whom something Good can be Done.
Then, I just go Do it …
… and this becomes my Purpose.
