Purposes Instead of Wishes

What are your purposes or plans for life? To be a piece of driftwood or towering oak? Drifters float on chance, and the stream gets more perilous by the moment.

Put purpose in your life. Be resolute. Never submit to passiveness. Drifting is dangerous. For the course of least resistance points downstream.

It takes a strong purpose and strong muscle to make it upstream. The only way is to lift the anchor and grab an oar, and still better – two oars. You will make your share of mistakes, but you won’t make the one of doing nothing.

Great minds have purposes, others have wishes.

Washington Irving 1783-1859
