[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 107683, member: 1545"] CS Lewis (one of my most favorite authors) once quipped "If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." --Mere Christianity As I have grown older, I have learned that those feelings of overwhelming anxiety/dissatisfaction are somehow related to God. More specifically, the idea that I'm just created for something bigger and better than life on this trouble filled, heart breaking earth. Something in me longs for more. So - yeah - I think those feelings are somehow linked to God. How do we find the courage to live our own lives? Ah - the million dollar question. And I suppose there are as many answers to that question as there are people asking the question. For me - I had been so engrossed in living others lives (sometimes by necessity) that somewhere along the way - I lost sight of living my own. But - and here's the catch - in order to live my own life to the fullest, I need to let go of everyone else's. There's the rub. [/QUOTE]
