Aspirations

# Chapter 32

What do you aspire to? Where do you want to take this? Where are we going? How good do you want to be? These are all future focused questions and you need those in your life, otherwise you just settle. There are many things that you need to just settle for, but not your future. The future you, needs more and better and if you settle here and now for what skills you have, what possibilities you have, what paths you can choose, who you take with you on these journeys, the doors of opportunity are closed by settling for less or settling for today.

You want to be careful here that you don’t confuse this with living for the future, because that is only a possibility and the present is all that you have so live it well. But turn some mental energy tuned toward the aspirations that you have, and generally aim life toward those aspirations. No matter how good you are today at whatever, how much better do you want to be next year? That is the real question. You have to give some small steady consistent attention to improvement and change and growth, in order to move in the direction that you need to go. Who will you become? What skills will you sharpen or develop? What expertise will you bring to the world? What will be made better because you did? What change will occur in the world and in the lives of people because of your aspirations?
