September 21, 2025- Live with purpose

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving. 

~Lao Tzu

This journey through life meanders. We can be as visionary, as driven, as consistent as we want, and our lives are still highly unlikely to play out exactly as we imagined.

Our journey will never be about arriving. There will always be an unfinished task – a skill we want to improve, a vice we would like to control, a fear we would like to overcome, a flaw we would like to correct. If we were to wake up one morning as the perfect model of our vision of the best version of us, we would have evidence that our dreams were too small.

Does that mean we have to live with a constant feeling of disquiet? Do we have to be constantly disappointed in ourselves for being less than we wish to be? Absolutely not.

We can live with purpose. We can be constantly aspirational. We can understand that life‘s journey will never be over, and all we need to concern ourselves with is the very next step. Life is a series of singular choices. What choice can you make, right now, that will bring you incrementally closer to the life you dream of? What are you waiting for?
