Focus On the Being.

November 11, 2008

“So much in this world is focused on doing some action. What do you want to do with your life? What classes do you want to take? Do you think you’d be happier somewhere else? Do you want to move to Hawaii? Do you want to be a politician, or a priest, or a whatever? Those actions are all a part of something bigger though: who we are. And it’s not that the actions determine who we are, it’s the other way around, who we are determines our actions. So instead of asking yourself those action questions, focus on the being. Who am I? And then, Is that who I want to be? Even better yet, Is that who God wants me to be?”

-Father Peter Musset
