I love to birth dreams. It's my passion to see people's vision and heart longings be realized. As a result, I gravitate to all things thought provoking. This includes asking the hard questions. Here's an excerpt from a book I'm currently reading:
Whatever it is that has its hooks in you, you will never be free from it until you find something you want more. It's not about getting rid of desire. It's about giving ourselves to bigger and better and more powerful desires.
What are you channeling your energies into?
Because they will go somewhere.
If they don't go into a few, select, disciplined pursuits that you are passionate about and are willing to give your life to, then they'll dissipate into all sorts of urges and cravings that won't even begin to bring the joy that the "one thing" could.
You are crammed full of the "madness of the gods." And you will end up giving the force of your being to something.
Life is not about toning down and repressing your God-given life force. It's about channeling it and focusing it and turning it loose on something beautiful, something pure and true and good, something that connects you with God, with others, with the world.
What is it you've given your life to?
