What would purpose do for you?
What is great about a new year? A new year is a chance to start afresh, a chance to measure what has passed and to put a closure, a tight lead on what has gone behind.
A new year helps us mentally to put a close to the mistakes of the past year, not only the mistakes though, even the successes of the last year. You know the greatest enemy of success is your last success.
It’s a New Year and many people are already their New Year resolutions again, it’s not bad, I believe that of course you must have goals. Where I have a problem is where people’s goals are independent of their purpose, independent of what they really believe in, and are all about maybe peer pressure, people’s expectation, the state of the economy, the political state of the country, the circumstances that surround them. A wise man once said “what lies behind us and what lies ahead of us, are mere trifling matters compared to what lies inside of us.”
You can probably survive the good times without purpose, but you certainly need purpose to keep you going through the rough times. Today, celebrate that body you were born in, no matter what it looks like - that is your design.
