Meaning Is Not a Mood
A worthy commitment must survive the quieting of its first emotion.
A meaningful path does not feel meaningful at every mile. Repetition can dull the senses. Difficulty can make a chosen life resemble a mistaken one.
Purpose is sustained less by constant inspiration than by a truthful relationship with responsibility. Feelings inform the journey, but they cannot be its only compass.
Which commitment remains worthy when the emotion that began it has gone quiet?
