“For moderns - for us - there is something illicit, it seems, about wasted time, the empty hours of contemplation when a thought unfurls, figures of speech budding and blossoming, articulation drifting like spent petals onto the dark table we all once gathered around to talk and talk, letting time get the better of us. _Just taking our time_, as we say. That is, letting time take us. "Can you say," I once inquired of a sixty-year old cloistered nun who had lived (vibrantly, it seemed) from teh age of nineteen in her monastery cell, "what the core of contemplative life is?" "Leisure," she said, without hesitation, her china blue eyes cheerfully steady on me. I suppose I expected her to say, "Prayer." Or maybe "The search for God." Or "Inner peace." Inner peace would have been good. One of the big-ticket items of spirituality. She saw I didn't see. "It takes time to do this," she said finally. Her "this" being the kind of work that requires abdication from time's industrial purpose (doing things, getting things). By choosing leisure she had bid farewell to the fevered enterprise of getting-and-spending whereby, as the poet said, we lay waste our powers.”

“There are people who wish and pray for you to rise. They are willing to help you fulfil your purpose in life. Those people are your tribe, and they are the ones you need by your side.”

“Treat your own life like a project. Learn the negotiation process, people management, time management, financial management, and spiritual discernment, because you will need those abilities when managing your project called ‘purpose’ on earth. This is the most important project you will ever have to manage in this world.”

“When you look back and realize that everything that happened in your life happened because of a specific purpose, you will begin to understand that nothing was ever in vain.”

“245. You do not have to be a rocket scientist to understand your purpose. You need to look beyond any science and straight into God’s plan for your life. Ask yourself this pertinent yet not-so-complicated question: “What change do I need to make in this world in line with God’s plan?” This question will provide you with the key to unlocking your purpose on earth.”
