Do what you love

As a career counselor I have worked with countless clients who have been seeking direction in their lives. I ask them to tell me about times when they were absorbed by the activity of that moment when time felt suspended. Rarely does there come a time when the client is unable to recount that event. The client may need to step away for awhile and give thought to it, but it does come. These may have been a time when we are at one with our purpose in life. It may be when we were playing with a pet, building a treehouse, or reading a story with an elderly relative. We ask ourselves what it was about that experience that brought us such joy. Then we look for opportunities in our current life that can bring about similar levels of joy. We can awaken each morning knowing that we are doing what we love and what we were destined to practice in the world. What is it that you love and how are you expressing it today?
