Commentary:
Coming into the school year, I was so excited to tell everyone my goal for being here: I am going to work for an international Christian non-profit when I graduate. While this is still my goal for my future, I seem to have lost sight of that with the jumble of daily like here at college. The irony is that my goal is to change and impact the lives of people other than myself and the things that have been distracting me have all been about my personal life.
We all have goals that we are striving for in life. Some desire to help others, and some strive for personal advancement. Whatever that personal goal may be, the fact that we all have them is a great point of unity. Just like an actor may ask his or her director, "whats my motivation?" We must ask ourselves the same question. Our motivation and tactics for achieving that motivation define who we are.
During this time of year especially, I think it is important to refocus the lenses through which we are viewing life. We are in the final week of the semester, and the final month of the year; there is no better time.
Earl Nightingale said this:
“The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.”Think about it |
