…adapted from Believe. Do. And Follow Through!
Chapter 23
Do words cause us to act, or is it the nuances that surround them? Do they develop from nothingness, on their own, or are they caused in our minds by the greatness of the Universe and its purposes? We are trapped in between the greatness that exists and the mediocrity that tries so strongly to drag us down with it.
We can step above those surroundings and draw unto the purposes that wait for us to awaken and realize their existence. By our words, we propose we are aware of supreme ideas that control the Universe, but our actions sometimes reveal otherwise. We squabble for bits of faded glory, when we could be reaching and living toward the wholeness and grandeur that awaits.
If we would simply look beyond the immediate – beyond the tangible – we would lay hold of intangible, yet meaningful parts of life, construct them, and make them tangible. It is possible to live in that manner, yet so few choose to do so.
Those who choose to live differently – to go down that path of overcoming – will not have many companions during the venture. Yet, those who are on the same path are also of the same character and stature. So, if you go, you will find good company.
Carefully consider the options, and then purposefully choose which way you want to live. However, if you continue to hesitate and refuse to choose, you will still have chosen. Avoidance doesn’t negate the existence of the option – it only dictates a singular route that you may dislike.
Follow through on what you start. Finish well. A lot of people start things that they don’t finish. Not finishing things can lead to a frustrating set of days, which could turn into a frustrating life.
We’ve all seen people who just seem to be grumpy all the time. Don’t be like them. Follow through on what you start. In the days that stretch out before you, you will find the purpose you were meant to live, if you don’t already know what it is.
Live differently.
