The Spiritual Danger of Living in “What Ifs”

from The Forge with Tomas Mones-Cazon · host The Forge with Tomas Mones-Cazon

St. Francis de Sales warns us not to waste our lives chasing imaginary callings or future ambitions. In this video, we break down how he teaches us to focus our energy on the duties God has actually placed before us. "We are apt to fight African monsters in imagination, while we let very petty foes vanquish us in reality for want of due heed." God, and our vocation, is found in the present moment—not in the distant future.DM me if you want to discuss this further or need some guidance.
