As you’ve reflected on yourself and your world over the past twelve days, you may have begun to notice some patterns—situations or circumstances or aspects of your life that seem to repeat over and over. As you proceed through the next few days of the journey, keep an eye out for a sense of yearning. The planning part of your journey is first focused on identifying your passion.
Today, spend some time looking at your daily activities. How are you spending your time? In looking for your passion (or recognizing confirmation of it), here are some things to take note of:
- Activities that set your heart on fire. These are the things you love to do that make time stand still.
- Pastimes that refill your well. You may have some deep down wants for remarkably simple activities like quiet time, taking walks, or reading, that you’re not getting to: what are they? This is where your energy gets replenished.
- The non-negotiables. Who or what are the must-haves in your life: your kids, spouse, exercise, spiritual life? What else?
- Things you already have that you want more of.
A sense of yearning can be a signal that your passion is either forgotten or unfulfilled. The best part of noticing the sense of yearning is that it tells you that great things are ahead of you, that you have a calling, being called into your best life.
