“When you find your path, you’ll know it. (Life becomes easier.)
‘It is the toughest task you will ever face. But once you define your purpose, the meaning of your life will become clearer and all other tasks, no matter how difficult they may seem, will become easier.’ This quote by T. Byram Karasu is from his book, The Spirit of Happiness, Discovering God’s Purpose for Your Life.
He points out that the sooner you’re able to uncover the gift or talent that connects you with others, the better. Once your purpose is uncovered, you get to practice getting better at it each day. You can work at being a better coach or mentor, a better veterinarian or volunteer, a better baker or painter, a better (insert your calling here).
Karasu writes, ‘To believe—to have faith—in God means trusting there is a reason for the existence of everything in his world and beyond, and there is a meaning in its mystery. It means believing that there is a Holy Purpose for you.’
When you’re on your true path, you’ll find that you’re not only helping to enrich the lives of others, but that this is the key to your own happiness as well.
You’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing, making your own small contribution to the good of the world.”
