Say Yes

At least once in your life, you’ll feel like the meaning of your life is being revealed to you, just exactly the significance of your little life among the 7 billion others in the world. But how do you know if that’s really it? How do you know that you won’t get another calling? What if it’s just your imagination playing tricks on you?

You know by the immense joy you feel when you say “Yes.” When you say “That’s what I’m meant for.” No hesitation, no doubts. Just a stupid looking grin on your face and a silly laughter playing on the tip of your tongue, tickling its way from your tightly pursed lips.

Sometimes, it’s confusing. Despite your desperate grasp on the memory, things blur from your excitement, and you’re no longer sure of the details. You test out different scenes in your head, but all you get is uncertainty. A panicked disappointment sets in. Will you hear your calling again, to clear things up? Only God knows. All that’s certain is the knowledge that your life does contain meaning outside of it’s daily humdrum and the basic idea of where you’re meant to go to guide you on.
