We usually start our journey of compassion and interest somewhere along the line with “that’s exactly what I want to do”, arrive somewhere understanding “It’s not as fulfilling as I imagined” and could possibly end at “I don’t know what my purpose in life is”.
Through the years we encounter many different stages of excitements, low’s and high’s. Eventually, when feeling the low’s there is not always truth and enlightenment waiting for us, around every corner, so we need to patient and see when new signs of highs are showing up. Stay opportunistic and positive. As in the famous book from Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury, in order to find the bear, we need to go through the difficulties with joy, no matter what awaits us. Amen.
