999th: Discernment

We each have one or more missions in life, sometimes finding out what it is can be a mission in itself. Sometimes, we don't even know what our mission is until we're old and looking back at our lives and the things we have done. Sometimes our mission goes unfulfilled. But asking ourselves what our mission in this life is, is already a great start. So many live their lives without even knowing what they want out of it, what they want out of themselves.

Our mission can bring lots of pain and sacrifices along the way, we might never stop questioning whether there is anything to what we're doing. Feel dejected, hopeless and even futile. But at the end of a tiring day, a little voice encourages us onwards, it might be as innocuous as the sight of little sparrows singing, or something more affirmative like the birth of a child. A new day will start again, no matter hiw tired or dejected you might be. That's the gift that life brings; it will go on no matter what.

Find your mission in life, ask questions of it, and follow what your heart tells you. Whenever you're feeling lost, read this and remember someone out there is cheering for you. Take heart, spread your wings and fly out into the great unknown. Let love be your guide. Life awaits.



"I know the plans I have in mind for you...Then when you call to me, and come to plead with I will listen to you. When you seek me you shall find me, when you seek me with all your heart; I will let you find me." (Jeremiah 29:11-14)
