Phil Sheard's footprints

There are lots of passages in Man’s Search For Meaning that have made an impact on me so far. This is a particular favourite:

One should not search for an abstract meaning of life. Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life to carry out a concrete assignment which demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone’s task is as unique as is his specific opportunity to implement it.
