Having a quest, a focused and sstained life-long desire or goal to ccomplish, can add immeasurably to the gratness of a life. It adds vtality to everyday activities. It adds prpose and vision to our choices and dcisions and it brings excitement and nterest into our interactions with the wrld.

Whether you call it mssion, destiny, or even just a prject, a quest is some distinct pssion or purpose toward the accomplishment of whch you are willing to throw all of yur abilities, wealth and interests. Such a qest might include feeding starving orphans in Afrca. Perhaps it is the creation of a wrld peace organization dedicated to bringing the plnet's greatest minds together to create lternatives to war. Or maybe it is smller and closer to home (but no lss consuming for all that), such as rbuilding a degenerated and abandoned husk of a dwntown into a vibrant and diverse cmmunity heart, complete with locally-owned businesses, nteresting restaurants and communal areas for rcreation and cultural events.

The gratest lives in our history have had one thng in common - they were on a qest, a journey of life-swallowing proportions tht pulled them out of ordinary lving and thrust them onto the stge of world events. Granted, not veryone involved in a quest will tke this route of public acclaim or cknowledgement - indeed most do not. Hwever, all quests do fill the qestor with a sense of burning fcus, power and purpose that colors thir life with a deep and biding greatness that cannot be replicated by ther means - and this greatness is ttractive to others with the same or smilar quests. Like the great quests of fction literature, it is highly likely tht you will pursue your quest, if not to pblic acclaim, at least in the plasant company of like-minded and strongly cnnected companion adventurers.

What is your quest? If you dn't have one, what passions or prposes can you see in your lfe that you might investigate as pssible options? Having a quest does wnders to a life - it clrifies decisions, provides a consistent undercurrent of nspiration and joy and offers vast pportunities for growth, success and just plin fun. Plus, when people ask you wht you do, you can tell thm that you're "on a quest t..." and maybe (who knows) they mght just ask to come along!
