There may be times when life itself seems a burden, when we feel trapped or weighed down by something, when we feel passive and a victim of circumstances, or when we feel somehow lost. Those are the times to shed our passivity and turn it into initiative, telling ourselves, “I’m going to follow through on this path!” “I’m going to carry out my mission for today!” When we decide to do so, a genuine spring will dawn in our hearts, and flowers will start to bloom.
