Accomplish Things In Life To Be Admired - Contribute And Be Respected

What are you trying to accomplish?

Big question I know, so where should we start?

Sure looking after home and family must be high on our priority list, and with good reason.

An education. Pieces of paper or should it be wisdom and experience. Knowledge borne out of living your life.

Experience. Wisdom of living. Knowledge from books and other people.

Seeing and observing what other people do in their own lives. Learning from what they have done. Avoiding some of the pitfalls, not slipping on some of the banana skins. Avoiding some of the puddles and mud baths.

Following in another's footsteps or making your own steps. Sure it is fine to do what someone (related or not) does, but only if it fits you. You do need to do your own thing.

Seeking the straight and narrow when appropriate. Seeking the wide carriageway when required to do so.

So what are we trying to achieve? Fame and fortune, knowledge or experience, a better life.

So many options. Which to go for. How do we decide?

What does our gut feeling tell us? What do our senses tell us? Whatever they say or show us we would do well to sit up and take note.

Be swayed by our own experience, our own life wisdom and knowledge. Our own selves.

And we just know what we should do. What we should go for.

And we make those first steps on our path. The destination is in sight.

We know what we are doing and savor the effort, the quest.

For we know we can achieve. We can do it.

We can accomplish. And this realization gives us strength. Fortitude. Energy for the journey. Motivation for the effort.

And off we go . . .
