DISCERNMENT:
DISCOVERING YOUR ATITUDE TOWARDS LIFE
Our ability to discern God’s calling—even God’s call in our
daily existence to follow His will, the Spirit’s lead—will depend on our
attitude toward life. Take a few moments
to respond to the following questions in writing:
What do you believe is the purpose of your existence? In other words, why do you think you are here
today, in this family, in this place, in this parish, in this school, in this
employment?
What are you feelings about being alive today?
How do you see your life today? Insights emerging?
Ambiguities of which you are aware?
In what do you invest your energy?
What seems lacking in your life?
What seems over-abundant?
In what ways can you take charge of your life or assume
responsibility for how things are in your life today, making things better,
decreasing the negative aspects of your life today or increasing the good in
your life today?
In what ways are you living unaware of what is happening
and why it is happening and ways you can change what is going on, if you are
miserable, unhappy, empty?
