Where Are You Going?

Look at the green pheasants in this picture. Do you see how they fly towards the rising sun? They have purpose and patience, and their wings carry them towards their goal.

If animals have this sense of direction, why do we humans seem to stray so often? Why do we feel so lost and uncertain of our actions?

The answer is that we have no true goal. And this is what holds us back. Observe the birds and beasts and the creatures in the sea. Every one of them has a clear purpose. A need that propels them to act in order to survive.

Learn from these examples. Promise yourself that you will not go adrift in the world without a sense of purpose. Plan your goals and what you want to do. Make them happen by your willpower and determination. You can do this if you believe in yourself.

Fly towards the rising sun. Make your plans a reality.
