     I miss your inspirations. Just on a month’s vacation?

    Sorry, It just seemed to me that nobody cared about reading them any more. 

    Anyone else still liking them?

    With purpose

    Keep pushing yourself back toward what matters. However far you may have strayed before, or may stray again, continue returning to purpose.

    Purpose drives you and determines where you end up. It very much deserves your care and attention, and so do you.

    Though it goes against the fashion of the moment, give continuous consideration to purpose. Within purpose runs the path along which the great adventure of your life unfolds.

    In the seemingly unbearable weight of your focus and effort to serve purpose, arises great fulfillment. What you give to purpose you reap a thousand times over, across time, across life.

    Armed with purpose, you are able to make sense, to extract understanding from an overwhelming flood of facts. Through that understanding, coupled with purpose, you bring new, enduring value and goodness to life.

    Keep yourself aimed toward purpose, toward your highest vision of life’s magnificence. With purpose, live true and live well.

    Greet the day

    Start early to set a positive direction for the day. Lock yourself solidly onto a purposeful track and make it nearly impossible for anything to knock you off that track.

    Right off the bat, establish a pattern of effective action. Continue adding to that action to create unstoppable momentum.

    You’re going to spend the first minutes of the day doing one thing or another. So decide to invest that initial time in a way that gives you an advantage for the entire remainder of the day.

    Begin with a positive, purposeful thought. Then immediately act on that thought.

    Nudge yourself to get fired up about what you can do with the time in front of you. That’s a whole lot better than getting bogged down in worry and doubt.

    Activate the power of your intention to put yourself ahead before any outside influences have a chance to push you behind. Greet the day with high energy, with the best of expectations, and delight in discovering all the good you can do with it.

    Able to care

    What you value determines what you see. What you see is an indication of all you value.

    Your values blind you to some things and sensitize you to others. Though you glimpse objective reality through your senses and thinking, there is no entirely objective perception or perspective.

    You are directed by what you care about. Everything coming in, and going out, passes through the filter of what matters most to you.

    You strive to be rational, and succeed to a respectable degree. But you can never be cold and uncaring enough to proceed solely on reason.

    Yet by understanding and accepting who you are and what you are, great things become possible. Though you are by nature biased, that bias gives you the capacity to love, to offer kindness, to appreciate beauty and to be awed by wonder.

    In many areas you’re able to reason very objectively, yet at the same time you’re able to care. Understand what a powerful combination that is, and commit each day to make use of it in the service of life’s goodness.

    These three new ones are so appropriate for where I’m at right now (or trying to be at):  purpose, intention, caring, perspective, (seeking) fulfillment.  Great concepts, motivators.

    Thank you.
