  • To have something to aim towards is always a sure way of finding greater purpose in all that we do. Naturally, goals are achieved when we have a disciplined and focused approach to a process. Follow the process and what comes will come. And remove oneself from social affairs and those personal affairs that serve no purpose.

    It is not to isolate oneself from society altogether or avoid personal engagement with others or healthy conversation but those affairs that are without substance. Many social affairs produce no benefit for the individual attending or others that are there. More to the topic of which affairs to avoid and which to include are those personal affairs that limit progress.

    If we are not improving, we are not going anywhere. If it is goals we wish to accomplish then without improvement to ourselves, how are we ever to improve the process. Removing the self-indulgent behaviours is my priority. Not entirely but in most parts. What is truly necessary? Drink to quench thirst. Eat to satisfy hunger. Consume that which has a purpose or fits one’s current prospects. And much of which I am still very weak… yet aware.

    We can avoid wasteful endeavours in efforts to please others. We can avoid wasteful endeavours in efforts to feel adored. We can leave the opportunity to skite or share just to be noticed, appreciate or find some level of self-gain. One will be appreciated not necessarily but what they possess, own, know, do or say but by the character they hold. And character is built in good time with good ritual, routine and process.

    It does not mean we need to be idle or at ease. It does not mean we retreat into self-absorption. We must take good action. For what work we do internally will only improve character and virtue. It is then, with good character and virtue, that we may find true benefit to our life’s purpose – to be of service to others.
