Meant to do VS. Want to do
Every person is born with certain natural tendencies (things we are meant to do). According to these, our lives are shaped. We also conscientiously take certain paths on our own (things we want to do), these guide our lives as well. When our naturally given and conscientiously taken paths are of the same alignment, things seem to fall into place much easier.

Something to think about...
If you could do anything in the world, and money is not a factor, what would it be? Why are you not doing it now?

Walking into the local convenience store today, there was a scraggly looking man in front asking for a dollar, said he needed gas to get back home. I gave him a dollar - looked like he could use it. About that time he asked another fellow for some change and the guy gave him a dirty look and stomped off.
Inside this guy tells me, "That bum is just going to buy wine with that money." I tell him, "Yeah, or maybe he really needed gas...any way, it was just a buck and it made both him and I feel better." The guy shook his head and walked off.
A few minutes later while in the checkout line, I turned around and the non-charitable man was behind me...with a 24-pack of beer. Hmmm...
Now I know that man can spend his money any way he wants, but I had to smile at the irony of it all...
