In response to a recent blog entry, kgr responded, "The challenge for me is to determine 'my heart's desires'. I believe, the better I understand my heart desires the more I am able to integrate what I want to do with what I need to do."
Why is so difficult for us to identify our heart's desires?
I think one of the reasons is that the busy-ness and complexities of our lives literally choke or strangle our true desires.
And the demand for our attention is ever-increasing. It seems like everybody wants a piece of us. Advertisers. Politicians. Our jobs. Our homes and material possessions. Our families. Everybody!
We spend so much time and energy doing all this 'stuff', that we find ourselves all grown up--still trying to figure what we should be doing with our lives.
Help me out...What does it take for a person to figure out their heart's desires?

"Theologians and philosophers have been saying for a century that God is dead, but what we confront is the possibility that man is dead, transformed into a thing, a producer, a consumer, an idolater, or other things."
