Purpose

Do you know what it takes to be great? It takes you to decide what it is that you want to do and then to be dedicated to achieving and eclipsing those goals. Let's start from the top...do you wanna be great? Do you want to be the standard or the bar that everyone is attempting to reach? Or do you feel like that isn't your purpose? Are you a foot soldier? a right hand man? Everyone has a purpose but your purpose is determined by what you allow to drive you. The thing that will make you get up at 7 am or stay up til 3, or drive 2 hours everyday, or sit in tunnel traffic, or do all the things that you really don't wanna do...but not just that...to approach these things with a positive attitude because this step gets you closer to YOUR purpose. Someone told me once to make a list of the things I want to accomplish and acquire in life. I made a fairly long list of the things i determined to be the most important to me. Next he asked me to cross of the things that I could be happy without, and finally the things I would not be very upset if i didnt achieve, and I had nothing left. I realized that with no purpose, nothing is achieved. It is overlooked, but it is the motivation that drives each of us. You have to have something in your life that won't allow you to rest until its done. I had nothing. I was so used to making plans and readjusting if I didnt reach them, that I accomplished nothing. You don't readjust the plan to you, you readjust yourself to the plan. True purpose doesn't allow the plan to change, but it changes you to fulfill it.
