Those 37.2 trillion cells that go into creating each individual can’t explain why we all have a soul. It’s an inner landscape, a place where we wander around discovering all kinds of astonishing insights and longings. Contentment comes when the direction and purpose of our life is anchored in the soul. #contentment #thesoul #lifedirection

Life often encourages us to spend all our energy on chasing what we want, but we seldom pause to wonder — if we get what we chase, will it make us happy? Be kind to yourself and take a moment to contemplate what would make you happy if you got it, then compare it with what you chase. The result may be unexpected.
