How To Do What You Really Want To Do

Where does the energy, and perseverance, to do important, meaningful things come from?

The origin of that well is the soul.

The details are the thoughts, habits and actions of one’s life.

The only way to do great things is to know what great things are to you – to your soul.

When you know your soul, you know yourself.

When you know yourself, you can know what is truly meaningful to you.

When you do those things, your soul rejoices – and you live well, and fully.
