WE ARE ALL MISFITS

There are people who start out doing one thing in life only to find that it's something else that is really their calling.  Until they yield to this calling, they feel like, and are, misfits.

We all have an inner voice calling to us.  Due to all the commotion in our lives, however, all the people, things, and events pulling at us from every direction, we can't or won't hear it.

Eventually, though, we have a revelation.  It may come while we are watching the sun descend in an autumn sky or while pondering the sea lapping at a rocky shore, or even while just standing on a street corner. 

We see now that what we have been doing with our lives is false, that we have missed the mark, and that we'd better rethink this whole thing.

This is because the purpose of human life is spiritual awakening.  Everything other than this is ultimately unsatisfying.  The problem is that we are looking in the wrong place for fulfillment.  We are listening to the wrong voice.
