This post was first published on November 10, 2011, one month after I had started this Time to Be blog.
As I celebrate seven years of blogging and the milestone of my 1,000th post this month, I delved into my blog archives and drew out this post. We're all on a journey. I hope this post helps light your way. Thank you for being part of my blogging community!
Who am I? Where
have I come from? Where am I going? Why?
These questions are fundamental to my life's journey, but how often do I ask them in order to shed light on my path?
The questions originated from my friend Don's encounter with security at an airport in the UK.*
When taken in a different context, they can serve as a
metaphor for life's bigger questions and our continuous quest for fulfillment
and happiness.
I dare say that the answers are not always easily found and they
will likely change with the seasons of our lives. But, I appreciate the act of
pausing, asking, listening and reflecting on them, all the while having faith
that I'm where I'm supposed to be right now.
Who am I? Where have I come from? Where am I going? Why? Spend time contemplating these questions. Are you satisfied with the answers you hear?
* November 2018 addendum to my original, seven-year-old post: Read With All We Are: Mission, purpose and transformation by Donald Eggleston, M.ED, M.DIV, published in 2018 by Mission Works Publishing, LLC, for more about these vital questions -- and more. Don’s thoughtful approach makes the questioning journey for individuals and organizations both accessible and revealing.
