Do you ever feel like you can't connect with your passion or joy? Each day feels like you're pushing a boulder up a steep hill. What if you don't have a clue what gives you joy? Well, that's the thing about purpose. Just like students get summer vacations, life gives us periods of renewal and these times to go inside to meditate to listen to that still small voice. What feels like stagnation could actually be rest and restoration, r&r.

These are valuable times and they are purposeful to purpose can also come through pain. But Joseph Campbell advised us to follow our bliss because many times it's through your bliss, he'll find your purpose. And he said, My presence will go with you and I will give you rest. Exodus chapter 33, verse 14,
