Reflection # 1 from the book, Reflective Empowerment, that was judged by Reader Views as the Walsh Seminars Award for Best Personal Growth Book of the Year, 2010.
Are you distressed, despondent, down-spirited, or depressed? Most persons experiencing such debility are not exploring their full potential. You become bored because you are not taking action consistent with he skill set and talents that you have. You make excuses for your condition, but you do not accept that it isyour responsibility to change things. If you want things to change, you have to change. You cannot continue doing the things you have been doing for the past twelve months and expect to get a different outcome than your present situation.Choose to change your current game plan.
One approach is to decide on a goal beyond the narrow confines of yourself. If you have a goal that helps others, while providing you with personal fulfillment and/or income, then perhaps you will have something to wake up for in the morning. Each person will have a different calling. You must decide what are your gifts and talents,where there is a need, and your wholesome desire to act on the opportunity.
There is another approach you can take. Tomorrow morning when you awake, ask yourself, why am I alive today? Document what comes to you in response to that question. Repeat the exercise on your awaking for the next six days (seven days in all). As you follow this process, you will experience a deepening and better understanding of your purpose. You will also find that your life becomes more meaningful and fulfilled.
Be relentless in the quest for your significance.
