Reflection on Purpose


Purpose is a crucial component of success, for it permeates every activity a person engages in. Even the mundane tasks a person must engage in are ascribed a compelling importance to a person who believes in a purpose. I was watching Fox Sports Arizona the other day and it was highlighting University of Arizona basketball coach Sean Miller. I was impressed by his approach to coaching and building a successful program.


The thing that stood out to me the most was his definite sense of purpose. The clarity Sean had was impressive. It is clear that belief in your purpose cannot be something luke-warm. It is not something that can be intellectualized with cold calculation. Purpose…for it to be a force of compelling transformation must be charged with emotional energy. An energy strong enough to transcend the barriers of doubt, fear, fatigue, opposition, etc.

Un
Into the Maelstrom!

Until one is willing to step out into the uncertain reality, supported only by the dogged strength of one's will and courage…

Until one is willing to brave the tumultuous tides of life's temperamental disposition…

 Until one is just as willing to live with defeat as one is with victory….

ONe Will Not be Free

For freedom requires something much deeper than acknowledging current conditions and circumstance…

Freedom requires the determination to transcend them…

You are bigger than that

You are not what befalls you…

Me We
