Instead of telling your life what values you embody and what truths you want to pursue, you should listen to your life to discern what it is that God has given you. Only as we ask and answer the right questions do we get on the right path. Only as we harmonize our lives with the gifts God has given us do we get on the path that leads to the deepest satisfactions we know as Christmas. This way to think about what we do with our lives comes much closer to a biblical understanding of vocation than the popular power of possibility thinking. We cannot just dream up the best design for what we want to be and then make it, because life is not assembled.
Life is grown, in much the same way that an acorn becomes an oak tree.
An acorn has the genetic capacity to become an oak. There are many factors between being an acorn and being a full-grown oak that would determine what sort of oak, but that acorn is not free to be a maple tree. An oak might decide it would rather be a maple. It might find a way to imitate looking like a maple. It might even find a way to turn its leaves red and yellow in the fall.
