How Do You Approach Your Life?
StaffAugust 04, 2010
David Brooks' recent article gives an interesting commentary on two different approaches to viewing and approaching life.
Here is a brief summary from his article:
The person leading the Well-Planned Life emphasizes individual agency, and asks, “What should I do?” The person leading the Summoned Life emphasizes the context, and asks, “What are my circumstances asking me to do?”
Some of the readers' comments to Brooks' article are worth considering as well.
Does the gospel have anything to add to this discussion? Given the two different approaches that Brooks' outlines, Is it either-or, both-and, or is there another approach to consider?
