Round and round we go, and where we stop, nobody knows.
Life is cyclical, seasonal, constant.
In our pursuit for a good life, enjoyable life, and also a life that we can look back on, and know we have left a positive path for others to walk, we sometimes get lost in the everyday shuffle of work, schedules, seemingly endless to do lists. Many of us wander in small circles, and our daily life path doesn't lead us to the dreams and goals we had as children, and young adults. We walk in muddy boots, unable to climb out of the quagmire.
Maybe, we should take a break from the routine, and think about our Life Goals. Time waits for no one, it keeps moving, and we have no control over that fact. We do have control over how we decide to spend our time. Sure we have to 'pay the bills'. There are needs that must be met. Humans need shelter, food, and a reason to live. That really sums up the needs of the human. It seems simple enough, but often we spend a life time circling, rather than aiming ourselves toward.
I personally have decided to make my list of 'reasons to live'. This is not to say that I am not living now; I am. The list is to help me gain insight to the more important reasons that I am alive, and how my life can be a part of a positive world for the future. Each person's life affects another life, and that life affects another. The butterfly theory in action!
This list will help me gain my footing and allow me to travel the path toward my life goals.
Why not take time this week, to create your list? Keep the list handy, and each week journal the things you did that helped you get closer to your life goals. The list is personal, and you can share it, or not. This exercise is for you, and you alone. You don't even need to tell anyone you are doing it. You can make your list flexible, and add to it, or subtract from it, as you realize your dreams, and goals. I haven't decided if I want to share my list. I might share parts of it a bit later. The point of my writing today... is to jump start your brain... and my own... toward life goals. While we are circling, we might as well be circling toward a more rewarding path, and leave a positive legacy.
Round and round we go, and when we stop, no one knows.
