I think it is a true statement, though maybe a little fanciful and idealistic.

For many the purpose of life lies in a booming business or a perfect love.  And when these things fail so do their purpose for life, hence all the suicides of business men after catastrophic failure and young kids after a devastating breakup.

The truth of the statement lies in the discovering… In my opinion it is in the journey/adventure that purpose is found, always through the lens of Christ, joining his Kingdom work here on earth.  Our purpose is simple, as Jesus says, “Let His kingdom come here on earth as it is in heaven,” and in the greatest commandment, “Love God and Love one another just as I have first loved you.”

The question then is this: Are you (in your journey/job/adventure/life) seeking to join in the work of the kingdom, or are you seeking to build your own castle?

One is firmly established on solid rock and the other is selfishly built upon dunes of shifting sand.  And that is my thoughts.
