"I just heard someone recently...we all get hung up on what am I supposed to be doing with my life? What's my destiny? What if we have a series of small destinies we never step into cuz we are too busy looking for the big thing. We weren't called to seek our destiny with everything we have. We were called to love. That is our greatest destiny."
Text message from AZ, my best friend.
This text really spoke to me on the issue of "what am I doing with my life?" and how do I figure out my destiny? I get so depressed and anxious when I think that I could be doing something great or important with my life but I'm not. But, who determines what is great and important? Why do I view my life as not important or worthwhile? Why must I do just one great thing? Thinking that there's only one thing I'm destined to do is very deceiving and disappointing. What if it's not something I like doing? It's easy to get caught up in the drama of "only one purpose" that we miss the little opportunities to work out our destiny.
It's like this. If you have one destiny, one purpose, and all your time an energy are spent on working those things out, what about the little things? Small destinies like saying hello to a stranger, hanging out with a friend in need, going on that trip you've always wanted to go on? The possibilities are endless if you think of your destiny being a bunch of little purposes and bundled destinies.
