Live with Purpose

Have you ever had a situation that you were cruising along on the highway and suddenly realized that you did not know where exactly you were or how you got there? It has happened on me. Although you were sub-cautiously cruising along which kept you on the road, your mind was not actively navigating. You were driving but you were not driving. 

You knew it was time to take a pause, collect your thoughts, and see where you are going.

Such is the case for life as well. If you do not know where you are going, regardless how fast you go, you will never get there. 

Life is hectic. Pause if necessary. 

Life is short. Live with purpose.

Ambition-driven strategy and execution can accomplish seemingly impossible goals. I've witnessed some great success stories, at nations, at companies and with individuals. But I believe there is always a price to pay in the long run if the purpose was only the purpose itself. Pause is good. Setbacks are opportunities to learn. Change can only come after countless scabs. It's the process, not the result.

What a great model to use, Xinjin - not only for individuals but, also for companies they are working for.? I intend to use this model to help some of our clients, especially those who struggle with? their ever-changing strategies.? ?Each topic circle will generate hours of discussion I am sure.? Thank you for sharing.??

Great graphic - but there is another school of thought that espouses simply going along for the ride and not worrying about the destination. "The Journey" by Robert Hastings is a good read
