Believe it or not, I’m still not entirely sure of my purpose. I like writing, but do I love it? Am I consumed by it? No. I like astronomy, too. I like politics. I’m quite anxious, to be honest, to discover my purpose. It’s not obvious yet – and Jonathan says it might not be for a long time. Not what I wanted to hear, but quite possibly true. [...] [...] The Life Purpose Lie:  Harsh words for people like me, but worth considering. Believe it or not, I’m still not entirely sure of my purpose. I like writing, but do I love it?

Paraphrased: When we say yes because it needs doing & no one else steps up, the task is a drag. We are operating from head, not heart. But when we say yes to inner guidance, a prompting from the "Center of our life," because of what he calls "an inward rising," a sense that this is mine to do, then we are living in guidance. Life from the center, he says is "simple and serene. It takes all our time and it takes no time." Works for me.
