Turning Point
For many of us, the job-hunt offers a chance to make some
fundamental changes in our whole life. It marks a turning point
in how we live our life.
It gives us a chance to ponder and reflect, to extend our
mental horizons, to go deeper into the subsoil of our soul.
It gives us a chance to wrestle with the question, “Why am I
here on Earth?” We don’t want to feel that we are just another
grain of sand lying on the beach called humanity, unnumbered
and lost in the billions of other human beings.
We want to do more than plod through life, going to work,
coming home from work. We want to find that special joy, “that
no one can take from us,” which comes from having a sense of
Mission in our life.
We want to feel we were put here on Earth for some special
purpose, to do some unique work that only we can accomplish.
We want to know what our Mission is.
