Find Yourself, Discover Your Purpose
Find Yourself, Discover Your Purpose
Clear decisions are based on knowing yourself and your purpose. Without a clear understanding of why you do what you do, decisions may lead you to counter-purpose.
David Amerland brings Roman gravitas to the modern world.
In more words: without knowing who we are we cannot know what’s important to us, what values we hold dear, what lines we cannot cross. Without a deep sense of values we can’t decide what we want. Without deciding what we really want, we cannot have a sense of direction. Without a sense of direction there is no goal or purpose to our life. Without goals or purpose who we are, our sense of self, is subject to external forces instead of internal ones. We then become fragile, volatile, easily moved by the crowds, subject to the whims of the world and the vagaries of circumstances.

All roads seem to lead to .... the self ;) :D Zara Altair
ReplyDeleteDavid Amerland So true. :) I like the emphasis in this article on the relationship between knowing self/purpose to facilitate decision making.
ReplyDeleteZara Altair Our motivation is always emotional. Without a clear understanding of ourselves all we feel is, at best, directionless passion, at worst confusion. Neither helps us drive things forward.
ReplyDeleteDavid Amerland No kidding! I wish just doesn't work. :)
