‘Deep down we all know in our hearts what thrills us, what feels right.’

Get my meaning: Rosalind Smith’s thought for the week

by Rosalind Smith 31st January 2020

Some years ago, I heard the true account of a solicitor who ran a busy and remunerative practice. One day he gave it all up and became a taxi driver. His friends were amazed but he told them he had become ‘fed up with ripping people off’ and wanted to do something more satisfying, more in touch with the whole community. Of course, this meant that he took a massive drop in income, but he said that he had never felt so happy. He loved meeting and chatting with so many different people, and admitted to finding great satisfaction and enjoyment – and to fulfilling a purpose which had been absent from his life before.
