Where will you be in five years time: financially, romantically, physically?
How do you intend to get there?
Are you even aware of what it is you really want to have achieved in the next five years?
Or are you too caught up in the noise, and the distraction of the game at hand…
…that you forgot there ever could be a future that would effect the very way in which you operate in the present.
Set your compass and point: that is where I AIM.
And THAT is where I will be in five years’ time. And this is the best way I know to get there, right now.
Stop, point, focus.
The plan could change, absolutely. And it probably will change.
But it’s not about whether you deviate from the path or not. It’s about setting the course of the path right now.
Here’s why it could help you, immeasurably, right now to set a course:
if you don’t, you’ll forever be reacting to everything that is going on around you, with no purpose, nor direction.
You will simply exist, being swayed by emotion, opinion, state, and the external world: there’s no need to challenge your reality when there’s nothing at stake.
If you do you’ll have something to aim for.
A reason to challenge your reality.
Something to stand for, and a very clear notion of your direction.
You won’t be reacting to what’s happening here and now, for you’ll have an idea of where you need to get.
And you will use the here and now to your best ability to get there.
The present will become a tool of your creation, rather than something that happens to you and “makes you feel a certain way”.
Most importantly, you’ll always have something worth focussing on, as well as a reason to practice a more disciplined focus.
When you look forward and focus, your thoughts and mental chatter are able to subside, your anxiety’s irrelevant, and your purpose clear.
No need for complaint, just a mission that allows you to really understand what it is to be alive, undistracted, and completely feeling.
Set your compass, plant your staff, and point.
Where will you be pointing in 2010?
