Meaningful purpose

 

If you are not following a meaningful purpose, you’ll end up following a meaningless one. If you have no specific intention for the day, the world will steal your precious time in the form of empty distractions. You have the energy, skills, and knowledge to do great and valuable things right now. A specific intention, with commitment things right now. A specific intention, with a commitment to that intention, will put it all to good use. As useless as they are, the world’s distractions can be very compelling nonetheless. Give yourself an intention that is even more compelling. Decide what you will do with the unique opportunity that is this day. Plant your intention firmly in your awareness, and keep it there. You don’t have to be tossed around by a chaotic, contradictory, and confusing world. You don’t have to settle for regret at the end of the day long. Set plot a course, and stay true to that would add more goodness to life, and then follow the vision. Envision something that would make your world more enjoyable, more fulfilling, more enriching, and then make that vision happen. It’s easy to dwell on what is wrong. It is more useful, though, to focus on how things can be better.
