Each of us is the
summation of all our experiences plus our genetic makeup plus our
actions. |
|
None of our past acts
can be diminished. None should be enhanced beyond fact. |
|
We can never undo
damage we have caused. We can only attempt to diminish further
damage that might be caused by repeating our mistakes. |
|
We often have the opportunity to
identify, delineate, and attempt to achieve a new purpose. Few
people ever do. Most people simply pause their way through life
settling for little achievement and rationalizing why they
compromise themselves so often. And that describes the best of
people, those who actually consider achievement. Most people do not
actually contemplate purposeful achievement. |
|
Of course, most
people believe -- no, they know -- they deserve better than
they are receiving. If only they stopped waiting to receive and
applied themselves toward achieving what they know they deserve,
mankind would be achieving more than it is. |
|
Pathetically for mankind, little is
literally as much as most people care about achieving. |
|
|
Most people see the
opportunity to achieve a purpose approaching and consider it to be
too much effort. They step aside purposefully in order to avoid the
opportunity to achieve. In doing so, they fail in another -- and
meaningful -- way to achieve a purpose. |
|
|
What do most people's purposes consist of? Do
they apply themselves toward achieving their purpose? How do they
apply themselves toward achieving that purpose? Are they concerned
that they may not achieve their purpose? |
|
Do they even have a
purpose? |
|
If they do identify
and work toward a purpose, is it something that will in the
long-term contribute to mankind's purposes? |
|
No, watching their favorite team win the
Super Bowl is not a purpose. Nor is watching their children grow, a
purpose. |
|
Too many people's identified purpose
seems to be working to diminish other people's efforts in order to
elevate themselves on a relative basis. |
|
Imagine how much some
people could achieve if only everyone else stopped meddling and
minded their own business. |
