Are You "Progressing" and NOT Getting Anywhere???

We talk alot about "progressing", "moving forward", "walking forward" BUT are we actually doing it? 
PAUSE..........THINK.......WHERE ARE YOU IN LIFE?.......ARE YOU WHERE YOU SHOULD BE?........

If you say no, then why? Maybe you should take some time today to reflect on this....

Most people get hyped up easily and that energy does not last. These people never finish what they get themselves worked up to do. Are you one of these people? 

To properly "progress" you must have some self-knowledge and some idea of where you are called to go. If you understand who you are your direction is more clear. Why is this? Well, the only natural filter you have is yourself. The only person you can really command (besides children) is yourself. So If you learn how you operate, does it not make sense that you will properly "move forward" in life? 

Here is an example. What if you want to become a Professional Comedian. You write jokes, practice telling jokes where ever you go but you never actually take the initiative to get a regular gig to promote yourself. This is an example of not moving forward. Why doesnt this person move forward? It could be that they dont understand how they internally feel, when it comes to performing publicly in a diverse setting. It could be many other things as well. My point is that you must understand yourself to "progress". You are the driver in the driver seat of your life. If you do not know how impatient you are, how ignorant you are, how violent you are, etc etc etc. Your life will get no where. You will consistently be in the same place, wondering why people all around you are moving forward and you are not. 

So here is some things to try and reflect on in your life....

1. What is the place you are at now?...Is it positive? Negative? Violent? Nonviolent? 
2. What is the place/state of being that you should be at/in? How do you get to that point? 
3. Are you doing everything you need to do in order to move forward? 
4. Are you allowing yourself to be assisted? Are you relying TOO MUCH on others to assist you? 
5. From your answers to these questions take time today and determine what your objective is to life and make it your purpose to everything. 

May Peace and Love reign in your hearts!
