Having a purpose is one thing, but the quickening is a total animation of passion.

About This Quote

The quickening, or the “spiritual experience of the heart,” is a state of being that can occur moment by moment, without warning. Some people have written about the quickening as the heart’s “overwhelming desire” to pursue some kind of meaningful purpose. This is an amazing experience. It comes from deep within us and through joy or sadness, it can make you want to live life to its fullest. The moment you feel the quickening, it makes you feel alive in a way you never have before.
