It's just what I have posted to Steve's blog "Life on purpose". There's a part of Making a living (Inherited purpose) and other of Making a life ("Divine" purpose).
And the two purposes can difficult one another, that's the real difficulty.
Your "are you one of them?" quote felt to me like the one on Beatles Sgt. Pepper's that I always like. The verse in bold. You can gain the world and lose your soul... and lose the world and win your soul...
We were talking
about the space between us all
and people who hide themselves
behind a wall of illusion
never glimpse the truth
then it's far too late
when they pass away
We were talking
about the love we all could share
When we find it
to try our best to hold it there
with our love, with our love
we could save the world
if they only knew
Try to realize it's all within yourself
no one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
and life flows on within you and without you
We were talking
about the love that's gone so cold
and the people who gain the world
and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see
Are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself
then you may find
peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come
when you see we're all one
and life flows on within you and without you |
