“…we must run and do now what will profit us forever.” (RB Pro. 44)Benedict’s way of life is starting to sound a little like an investment plan—a guide for the present and an investment plan for the future. Benedict proposes that by putting my whole heart and energy into this new way of life it will not only benefit me today but in the future also. He is proposing the road to well-being and to ultimate happiness.
Since I tend to be a person who throws myself whole-heartedly into everything I do anyway, this concept appeals to me. I can live life fully today and know that I am doing what will bring about my ultimate good in the future if I follow this simple plan for life. What more could I want?
