What Are You Intentionally Doing to Be Where You Desire to Be?
To get where you desire to be, what are you doing?
I ask myself this question more than I feel like I should.
Perhaps I’m alone in this. But then, maybe not. What are you doing to go where you desire to be?
What does that even mean? For me, it’s about being who, where, how, why, and when I desire to be in this life. This is both a matter of the now, as well as where I will be in the future.
Because to get to the future, you must begin in the now. You can’t get to the future — and where you desire to be — if you’re trapped in the past or too focused on the future.
How does that work?
Be here, now
This is an ongoing challenge for me.
Right now, at this moment, activating my conscious awareness — where do I find myself? Where, how, what, when, why, and who am I now? In the present?
That picture is always a product of a combination of who you are and who you were. Because the past tends to create lots of bits and pieces that are invariably carried into the present.
The past is a great tool for learning. Taking something away from a past experience can serve you really well.
