When you identify with an organization and you want to do stuff [but] you get this inexplicable 'no' - a lot of people get off the end and think, Well, God must have said no to me. No! The organization just said no to you. Find what it is that you were made to do and get on it! Go do what you were made to do.

That's one of those things about love. It always assumes it can find a way to express itself.

It's easy to confuse a lot of activity with a purposeful life. Do what lasts; let the rest fall away.
