ambiguity

Many people live their lives driven by guilt.

Many people live their lives driven by resentment and anger.

Many people live their lives driven by fear.

Many people live their lives driven by materialism.

Many people live their lives driven by the need for approval.

When you fully comprehend that there is more to life than just here and now, and you realize that life is just preparation for eternity, you will begin to live differently. You will start living in light of eternity, and that will color how you handle every relationship, task, and circumstance.... your values change.... you place a higher premium on relationships and character instead of fame or wealth or achivements or even fun. Your priorities are reordered.... The closer you live to God, the smaller everything else appears.

--from The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren
