Our theme for the month of March is “Part Two.” Writers were challenged to choose a piece they’ve previously contributed to the post calvin and revisit it, perhaps writing a sequel or reflecting on how things have changed.
Josh’s original post is “I Am Failing.”
“It doesn’t matter what you do,” I will tell my children, “as long as you like yourself better than you like most other people.”
My parents didn’t teach me that, at least not in those words, and I can’t find it in my notes from college, either. I can find, though, Vocation is the place where our deep gladness meets the world’s deep need, which gets close. Liking yourself seems more or less a prerequisite for deep gladness, and if you see a world’s deep need that you can do something about, well, that sounds like the “better than you like other people” part.
