One of my favorite quotes, tell me what you think: "The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out Who You Are, seek to determine Who You Want to Be."- Neale Donald Walsch
I think we put so much pressure on ourselves, on who we are and what our mission in life is. There is no purpose in life unless you make one for yourself. Don't wait for others to tell you "well this is what you were meant to do", validate yourself and do something with your life. It doesn't matter how outrageous your goals are, you set the limits in your mind. If you see no barriers then there will be none, like the quote says you are the one creating your reality. So if you limit yourself then blame yourself for the results, yet realize that you can accomplish so much. Set out and do it, live this life because you deserve all the good in your life NOW! So what do you want in life and who do you want to be? It's up to you!
It's interesting these three last posts have been about the same thing: human will. Social scientists call it human agency. It is spirit, consciousness - that which has been with us all along. No wonder there are so many names for it: a wish, vision, and action.
ReplyDeletei think this qoute relates very well with the paper that is due on mon. i think the purpose of life is a combination of creation and discovery. we create our world and our relationships by discovering and exploring who we are...
ReplyDeletei definitely appreciate your post... i grew up with the knowledge that i can be anything i want to be and my parents always taught me to just focus and work hard and i will accomplish all the goals i set out for myself...and at times it may be hard to keep focus but i believe in human endurance and believe that there is nothing we can't accomplish if we just believe!!
ReplyDeleteI really like this quote. I didn't grow up being told that anything was posible, all i knew was that i had to graduate from high school and get a job. I realized when i came close to graduating from H.S. that if i worked hard i could achieve anything. So this is a great quote, it makes us believe that there are no boundaries
ReplyDeleteThe market gave a purpose to our lives, you do not have to look anywhere else. Your poruse in life is to buy a lot of things so America stays the greatest best country that god put on earth.
