Whatever you decide to do for a living, decide to love God more than yourself, love the poor and the sick and the hopeless more than your own happiness, love the intern as much as the boss, love your kids more than a promotion, love your wife more than your laptop. This is God’s will for your entire life. To pull this off you’ll need to buy as little as you can. The more stuff you own the more you’ll feel you have to work, the more depressed you’ll be when work isn’t fun, and the more you’ll equate God’s will with what you do for work, and the less time you’ll have to discover all the other things life is supposed to be about.
Dena says....AMEN!!!!
Wish someone had told me all of that about 20 years ago...or even ten. If they had, I might have discovered what life is all about when I was 30-something. Good thing is, it's never too old to start over. It certainly takes a lot of work to get rid of all the junk I've accumulated, though.
