Find your Vocation
What you need to do is think of work as “vocation.”
This word may seem stilted in its tone, but it has a wisdom within
it. It comes from the Latin word for calling, which comes from
the word for voice. In those meanings it touches on what work
really should be. It should be something that calls to you as
something you want to do, and it should be something that gives
voice to who you are and what you want to say to the world.

Live with Obsticles
For a long time it has seemed to me that life
was about to begin—real life. But there was always some
obsticle in the way, something to get through first, some unfinished
business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life
would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obsticles were
my life.
