Episode notes
Use Emotions As Guides
- Identify the purpose of your emotions: they exist to incline you to action, not to be merely experienced.
- Use emotional cues (e.g., tears) to ask what they are prompting you to do and respond deliberately.
Grief Reconfigures Meaning
- Grief can reveal new appreciation for life's beauty and change how you see your vocation and relationships.
- Loss can both expose vulnerability and open space for new, realistic relationships to form.
Small Acts Shape Big Vocations
- Grand plans often unfold through humble, concrete daily actions rather than spectacular events.
- Small, faithful tasks can be the true engine of vocation and long-term purpose.
