Where Are You Going

Do you know where you are going? I mean ? do you know where your life is headed for right now? To be progressing towards our goals in life we need to be focused. We need to know where we are going and to have at least some idea of where we are on the journey.

The trouble with most of us can often be that we try to travel in the fog or in the dark without a light to show the way forward. I am pretty sure that most people, including you, asked these questions, would not be able to give a clear answer. And maybe at times I am in that category too!

There are often options open to us which blur the picture of where we are going. Lack of focus on our goal or goals can mean that our energy is dissipated and wasted because it is spread too thinly over several ideas or projects. In some cases it may be worse than this. Lack of direction can cause a sort of vision paralysis. We feel stuck in the place where we are, unable to move because we have no sense of direction.

Even worse than this can be the attitude which many have that life is just for living day by day and that no goals are necessary. This is a recipe for disaster in terms of any sort of real progress on the pathway that you are on this planet to pursue. If you are doing that, trying to be JUST a good something or other ? wife, husband, mother, father, son, daughter, employer, employee ? then you are under achieving vastly and missing the mark. You don?t know where the mark is or even know that there is one to be aiming for!

All of the above mentioned functions are important. But each one only describes what we are in ONE aspect of our lives. To take just one example, the woman who strives ONLY to please her husband and ignores her own needs for fulfilment and progress in life is stunted and will not grow spiritually or as a person. What we are to another individual is only one small part of our being, regardless of how large that part may seem at times.

So I ask the question again: Do you know where you are going? Do you know where your life is headed for right now? If your answer is in the negative (and remember, for most people it probably will) then you need to STOP AND TAKE STOCK of your life. If you continue on the way you are now you will reap no more than what you are sowing. Much more needs to be said about goals. Listen to all that your higher self wishes to tell you and do that essential stocktaking before another day, week month, year or decade passes without significant progress or achievement.
