"We don't always know what makes us
happy. We know, instead, what we think
SHOULD. We are baffled and confused when
our attempts at happiness fail...We are mute
when it comes to naming accurately our
own preferences, delights, gifts, talents.
The voice of our original self is often muffled,
overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices
of other people's expectations. The tongue
of the original self is the language of the
heart."
-- Julie Cameron

We are each unique beings with a unique path in life.
If we wish to be fulfilled, we need to go to our own
hearts for direction. We might regularly ask
ourselves:
- "What do I really want to do?"
- "What brings me greatest happiness?"
- "How can I bring more of these into my life?"
Life wants us to go for what brings us most joy
and meaning.
"It doesn't interest me what you do for a
living. ...I want to know what you ache for,
and if you dare to dream of meeting your
heart's longing."
