Henri J.M. Nouwen Quote

We often say, I am not very happy. I am not content with the way my life is going. I am not really joyful or peaceful, but I just don’t know how things can be different, and I guess I have to be realistic and accept my life as it is. It is this mood of resignation that prevents us from actively searching for the life of the Spirit.
