Where You Are Heading Is What Matters

Copyright (c) 2012 Scott F Paradis

You are guaranteed to succeed - no question, no excuses, no doubt. You will absolutely succeed in this life. You will get everything you claim. The question is not, will you succeed? The question is, what will you succeed at? What will you claim?

It doesn't matter what kind of baggage you are carrying or what kind of failure you have endured. It doesn't matter what you've overcome to get where you are. It doesn't matter how fast you are going or who you are competing against. The only thing that matters now is where you are headed.

Life is in motion. Every component of matter and energy, substance and awareness is changing, expanding, increasing in complexity. Even when you don't think you are moving or don't intend to move, life moves you. What you do, what you create adds to the texture, depth, and diversity of this reality. You have no choice but to move. You do, however, have a choice as to direction. You choose what you are aiming for - where you are headed. Choose carefully. Choose a worthy destination; some place deserving of your focus, your energy, your life.

Life's purpose, life's motive, life's aim is to expand - to grow. As an element of life you have a role to perform. Your purpose is to grow - to add life - to increase value. How you contribute is not defined, but that you contribute is mandatory.

Your life and this reality are in constant flux. Life is change. Your gift is an opportunity to feel, to think and to move. By living you get to experience in a tangible, all consuming way. The price of admission, the price to have this experience is to make a contribution.

Since you move toward what you focus your thoughts on and what you focus your thoughts on moves toward you, focus your thoughts wisely. You will assuredly hit what you aim at. You are guaranteed to succeed in reaching your objective. Knowing you can't miss, choose a goal that is worth the effort. Choose a purpose and a destination that measure up to the divine promise and brilliant potential that is you.

The secret to successfully navigating your journey, is to advance in the right direction. You cannot stay still. You are either increasing or diminishing, growing or dying. Don't head in the wrong direction. Don't work against life. Don't resist the forces that beckon you to grow, to be, to become.

Moving is not an option. Moving toward something worthwhile, something fulfilling is your choice. Make the right choice. Make the smart choice.

Are you moving in the right direction? Your intention, your goal, your aim is the most important thing. Where you are heading is what matters.
