Discernment is not
just about deciding what to do in life. It really is much more about the
"who" of life, the total person. In essence discernment is about
making decisions and choosing a path in life that God calls us to.
"Who does God
want me to be?" and not "What do I want to do with my life?" is the
basic question in discernment. In answering that basic question one needs
to address: 
-
the
activities and work of life
-
the values
and attitudes one holds in one's heart
-
the choice to
love that one makes
 Christian
discernment implies a life of faith and a sense of one's relationship with God
in Christ. Discernment requires a heart ready to listen and respond in
prayer and reflection. Discernment also requires a head prepared to learn
about options and carefully select those choices which will bring greater joy to
God, self, and world.
