While we should use our own self-awareness, ingenuity, love and heroism, there is no guarantee that we will always succeed. Accepting this--on the job, in the home, or in life--is an important way to embrace...'the reality of the situation' and understand our own humility and poverty of spirit.

That means letting go of the wish to become someone else and remembering that your own vocation--not someone else's--is the path to happiness. You don't need to use anyone else's map to go to heaven, because God has already placed within your soul all the directions you need.

For the deepest vocation is to become who you are, to become your 'true self,' the person whom God created and calls you to be.

Solitude and silence also enable us to connect o a deeper level with others, for we are put in touch with the deepest part of ourselves--God. And in coming to know God, we are better able to find God in others and are freed of our loneliness. So sometimes you have to disconnect to connect.
