In a world where distractions are ever-present and self-aggrandisement is mistaken as confidence, there comes a time in everyone’s life during which one asks oneself either of these three questions: “Am I fulfilling my life purpose?” “Is there something more I should be doing to draw closer to God?” “Based on what I’m doing now, is God pleased with me?”

The way in which I personally digested these three questions was to seek the counsel of my spiritual director who, among many things, directed me to this wise statement by Saint John Chrysostom: "In order to get to God, man must go within himself."
