When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
You probably had different aims at different times, but some dreams
predominated. For my part, I wanted to be a nun–nice work for a Jewish
girl!–and I wanted to be a doctor. I approximated the first, never marrying or
having children and being so focused on religion. As to the second, only in my
writing and only in some of that could there be any chance of my giving to
anyone any healing.
What
you value most–if you think about it often–can provide you some understanding
of how you got from there to here, and how you can like your lot in life better
as time goes on, should you live so long.
A
Hebrew sage wrote that there is no sense worrying about the problems that you
believe you’ll face tomorrow, because you never know what is going to happen
today. (Jerusalem Talmud, on the reverse of page 100 in its volume about the
Supreme Court of ancient days, cited in Mesorah ArtScroll’s Heritage
Desk Diary above Sunday, 10-8-17.) Since you’re reading this,
one of the things going on today is a troubling mental health symptom, either
yours or that of someone you’re trying to take care of. That’s a mighty boulder
in the river of life, diverting the flow of the water. You might think that
it’s impeding your progress. A better way to look at the situation is that you
can harness the force with which the water’s direction is changing as
hydrologic energy, creative power in your life.
Now
there’s no way that I could possibly connect the dots and explain to you how to
find your goals and plan your ongoing life on this static page. Many of my blog
posts (and pages in my Special Reports and books) will (and some already have)
treat(ed) with that. This is a breeze of hope, to give you a whisper of what is
to come.
