Guiding purpose
+++++++++++++++++++
When you have a reason, you have a way. So find the reason, the purpose within, the objective that pushes you into relentless action.
Open yourself up and admit what you care about, what drives you, excites you, compels you. Ramp up your energy and activate your courage.
Don’t just sit there and cast empty judgments on all you see from a purely conceptual and dispassionate perspective. Embrace the glorious fact that you’re thoroughly entangled in this thing that is life, and maximize your involvement.
You’re highly evolved and superbly equipped to solve problems, to achieve objectives, to create, to delight, to fill the world with new value and beauty. Zero in on the specific pursuits that ignite your passion, and feel the satisfaction of giving your best to them.
With a strong, meaningful guiding purpose, you create a solid structure that provides support for every endeavor. It serves as a bulwark against disruptions, disappointments, doubts, and deceptions.
Spend your moments in the service of what matters. Let the energy of your purpose bring a continuing stream of goodness and value to your world.
