There are many ways to add color to your life, but what does it really mean? A quote by French novelist and playwright Honore de Balzac (1799–1850) inspired me to think about this. He said: “An unfulfilled vocation drains the color from a man’s entire existence”. Simplified it means that if you don’t do in life what you were meant to do, your life has no color. But Mr. de Balzac speaks not of your ‘entire life’, but of your ‘entire existence’ being colorless if you don’t find and live your purpose. That means your physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual being, everything you were, are and ever will be – and all that without color! Now, that’s serious stuff! It’s a call for real living! It’s an call to go out, search, find and live your purpose. Maybe you already know what it is. Maybe you’re already living it too, maybe not yet. Maybe you’ve just started to think, feel and wonder about what it might be. But in whatever stage you are, finding and fulfilling your vocation is not something you do once. It’s a life long process. And it’s being in this process consciously, that adds color to your life.
