Footprints in the Wind^sm # 1384

Don’t sit down and write a goal for the new year: zero in on your life’s purpose, and live that. A goal is something you can complete, something you can put a specific date on, and then you can rest. You can check it off. Life is not like that: I will complete my life by June 1, and then I can rest in my grave.

More meaningful would be to get your real work rolling out in the world, continually living it, constantly taking up opportunities and choosing course as you go. For instance, work on getting your message to the world: write an hour a night on your book, talk to new people every week, get speaking engagements. When someone new presents a project, evaluate it on how well it serves your purpose: if it serves in a big way, jump in with both feet!

Let goals serve your larger purpose by helping with the little things along the way. Keep your eye on your true essence.

Please pass it on.

This Now
This entangled
Conversing Now

:- Doug.

The fibers of spirit and matter interweave: each brings forth the other. This is so complex we can follow a thread only till we get tangled.

:- Doug.

The particular holds the universal while the universal holds the particular. My story is ours; if we think it is not, then it points to something that is. Story and deciphering leap-frog one another.

:- Doug.

It to Whole-making are stages in growth of our seeing. We see hints of the entire continuum from unity to diversity, opposition to wholeness.
