This is a crucial period of decision making for me and I came across this article that seems to be speaking directly to me:
"However, to define who we are is more than the exercise of choosing as if we were in a supermarket. In order to properly exercise this ability to choose we need to get away from the supermarket type of choosing. It requires that we clarify why and what we want. It demands clarity of the purpose of life. It requires discipline and discipline equates to self-denial, self sacrifice and purification of motives and intentions. Choosing requires discipline because choosing has to be in conjunction with what it means to be human. The key word is “human”—we choose in order to be fully human..." - written by Father Simon from SFX Church for 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B, here.
