Living On Purpose
'
You can approach your life as if your purpose is just to get by until the clock runs out, or you can work to make something of every moment you have. There are really only two ways to go here. Both are choices. Only you can make the choice to live your life on purpose. Will you?'
Damn straight Rachel. Living by accident is not always a flash experience. This issue of chunking time has caused me problems in my recovery process. Life is the journey not the destination for me. I have a tendency to think of those who break their day/week/year up into bite size chunks that they can face because the reality of life continuing until it ends seems too much to take as weak Only 2 days to the weekend, 6 weeks to easter etc. all these milestones to pass. Are we there yet? This lacks compassion and understanding so I try to utilise mindfulness to develop compassion.
ReplyDeleteBut then there is the idea of goal setting and celebrating achievements/milestones etc. which is very important for success. Trying to find the appropriate and relevant balance between the two is quite tricky.
Thanks for another interesting post…
