It seems many people in public offices and positions of leadership are headstrong and seemingly unhappy. Looking at friends and public figures who are following the path of Love, we see contagious joy spreading around them! Those who have turned away from conventional life pursuits to follow their hearts are listening to divine Mind, then acting on what they hear. Some might say that everyone can't do this or there would be no one to deal with the day-to-day lifework, which many consider to be drudgery. In watching my son, who works in a job which is considered to be mundane, at best, I see that he is happy, because it's more than just a job; it's his ministry. He's always noticing ways to help others and find joy in situations. He, too, is listening and following. Let not this day leave us where it found us, as we follow and rejoice!
“I follow in the way appointed me. I have a special place to fill; a role for me alone. Salvation waits until I take this part as what I choose to do. Until I make this choice, I am the slave of time and human destiny. But when I willingly and gladly go the way my Father’s plan appointed me to go, then will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my brothers and already mine as well.”
—A Course in Miracles W-317.1:1–2:5
“Jesus’ promise is perpetual. Had it been given only to his immediate disciples, the Scriptural passage would read you, not they. The purpose of his great life-work extends through time and includes universal humanity.”
—Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 328:27-31
