Which brings me to my point of this entry.
pur-pose: (noun) The object for which one strives or for which something exists; an aim or goal.
All too often we fall into a pattern-- get up in the morning, brush our teeth, and go out into the world to work, play, or simply survive. As pleasure driven creatures we are created to enjoy life. If we are not fulfilling a purpose we are more likely to give in to the temptations of the world (sugar, alcohol, caffeine, sex addiction (Tiger), etc.) Seeing how one of America's best atheletes gives in to these temptations, will put into perspective how our society works. Without a doubt one of the most successful people is driven to do more, or have more, leading him to a path of temptation. I wonder what Tiger's true goal or purpose is in life. I wonder how much his talent directed his life rather than his passion or purpose.
What to do?
Well, each morning I get up and spend 30 mnutes each day reviewing my intention for the day, and more specifically my purpose.
My values: Integrity, Assertiveness, Patience, Balance, Health
Purpose: To educate and lead OUR community to fulfill individual POTENTIAL.
The Process:
- 5 Minutes of setting intention
- 5 minutes of pranayama breathing (Alternate nostril breathing)
- 10 minutes of yoga (Movement and stretch)
- 5 minutes of Meditation (quieting of the mind)
- 5 minutes of Journaling the thoughts or questions that came up for me
In doing this exercise, and making a commitment to follow up everyday, my days have been brighter and I have been more focused and clear.
Which brings me to my next point. COME TO MY LECTURE Entitled "Forgot Something? The Aging Brain" at the St. Vrain Memorial Building on Longs Peak Ave in Longmont, 7pm. This lecture is the basis for all experiences in life. Call 303-651-8404 to sign up.
