“We spend our lives, all of us, waiting for the great day, the great battle, or the deed of power. But that external consummation is not given to many: nor is it necessary. So long as our being is tensed, directed with passion, towards that which is the spirit of all things, then that spirit will emerge from our own hidden, nameless effort.”—Pierre Tielhard de Chardin
Of course, I didn’t win the big Powerball jackpot this week. It wasn’t to be my “great day.” Honestly, that is okay. (It would have been nice, but….) I continue to pursue my Purpose—which, for the time, appears to be teaching.
It is easy to get lost in grand desires and a path of our own plans. The Universe, however, has greater plans for us. We must direct out efforts toward this Purpose. It is not as “insignificant” as we perceive. Indeed, it far exceeds our perceptions. de Chardin has stated it so eloquently—” So long as our being is tensed, directed with passion, towards that which is the spirit of all things, then that spirit will emerge from our own hidden, nameless effort.” Let the soul speak and direct your course. The result is the (extra)ordinary.
Be you best today; be better tomorrow.
Carpe momento!
