Try to see yourself as only one of many colors in a rainbow. Each one of you has a particular gift that functions as part of the greater whole. To further clarify the concept of keeping to your unique life task, it can be helpful to observe the innocent behavior of wild animals. Beasts don't wonder about what to do, they simply act spontaneously. Each divinely designed creature serves a special and original function which is perfectly balanced in relationship to all the other creatures.
Mountain lions kill deer for sustenance.
This seemly destructive act thins the deer populations so they don't eat up all the plants. The big cats kill off only weak animals so that the deer generate strong and healthy genes. Vultures and jackals eat dead, left-over prey and keep the woods and prairies clean. It would be silly to even try to imagine a deer attempting to be like a lion, a bee struggling to be like a flower, or a bird splashing its wings to be like a fish. When you express your own unique gift with an attitude of detachment, without envy or greed, there is a sense of love and dedication in your work that gives deep meaning and purpose.
