All about Purpose
Drive and Direction
It's one thing to be empowered, to enjoy healthy energy -- to have the
money to buy whatever we want and have the strength to run the
distance. It's quite another thing to have a set of goals that are
worth living for.
A sports car with a muscular engine and sleek lines is useless without
a steering wheel. Similarly, all the health and wealth in the world is
no good without a worthwhile cause in which to invest it.
However, to have a steering wheel without having a car is something
else. For, the clearer our mission, the easier we will find the
necessary money and energy to reach our goals; the better we envision
our ideals, the nearer we come to converting them into our reality.
A Target in Space
If you shoot a target in space, you must shoot straight. The smallest
inaccuracy creates the largest of gaps. This is true for self-growth as
well.
Now, if we are very close to our goals we can afford to aim casually --
from close our goals are bigger and easier to reach. However, when we
aim for a goal that is far away, we need to aim, and keep aiming. As
long as we move positively, we must keep our eye on the target.
Moreover, it is just this focus that powers our success.
Hang on
Our goals make us beautiful. They give us energy.
A trawler would not drop a net into the ocean if didn't expect to catch
fish. Similarly, the upper worlds do not drop a line into our hearts
without hoping to catch our life spirit. When they succeed, we benefit
as well. Through this connection, every aspect of our lives is
elevated.
We need to enter that net, to take a hold of that line, and our goals
help us to do so. By putting our minds to our deepest heart-wishes, we
hang onto this line, and allow it to pull us upwards.
