The best and most beautiful things cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

All week the question has risen, is it where I am supposed to be? The easy road lies before us and the path with thorns and boulders is beside us. Where do we choose to fall into motion? The easy path will temporarily fill us with satisfaction, give us a label, provide us support. But in the midst of this trying world, the easy way is still hard. We will still have bills to pay and people to please. In choosing to take the narrow path however, we discover something about ourselves. We find that we are not as small as we once perceived. We have within us, a vast river of strength, flowing swiftly to aid us in our aspirations. We need only put ourselves in the midst of trouble to determine our true power. 

Making the decision is not easy, the toughest of choices never were. We slowly become aware of where it is we are supposed to be when we feel a longing, a soft tugging, on the strings of our hearts. Should you choose incorrectly, your heart will always pine for that which you did not undertake. The challenge will never be forgotten. In life decisions, we feel an urge for the answer. Our hearts are combated by our heads. It becomes a game of soft hearts against thick skulls. In the end, the only thing that will bring you true joy is that in which your heart delights. It matters not how hard the task. Upon accomplishment, and even sometimes along the journey, we will realize how vital the decision we have made is. We will begin to understand the impact choosing the harder path imprints on our lives. In the game of life, we are approached with circumstances. We are called to make the decisions based not on the ease of the moment, but the significance of the journey. 

So how then do we answer the question of placement? You will be called to where you are supposed to be. For where your treasure lies, there your heart will be also.
