Am I Wasting My Time?
"If we want to be anything other than what God has made us to be, we are wasting our time. It will not work . The greatest accomplishment in life is to be what we are, which is God's idea of what he wanted us to be when he brought us into being; and no ideas of ours will ever change it. Accepting that gift is accepting God's will for us, and in its acceptance lies the path to growth and ultimate fulfillment." --Thomas Keating, The Heart of the World: An Introduction to Contemplative Christianity
