Day 257

Today's Lesson:

Let me remember what my purpose is.

If I forget my goal I can be but confused, unsure of what I am, and thus conflicted in my actions. No one can serve contradicting goals and serve them well. Nor can he function without deep distress and great depression. Let us therefore be determined to remember what we want today, that we may unify our thoughts and actions meaningfully, and achieve only what God would have us do this day.

Father, forgiveness is Your chosen means for our salvation. Let us not forget today that we can have no will but Yours. And thus our purpose must be Yours as well, if we would reach the peace You will for us.

Miracles I'm noticing:

Today's lesson reflects what I'm talking about in my master mind group with the company I'm working with this week. We've been talking about setting goals and achieving goals and the distinction is that when you set goals based on a purpose, you have an incentive to achieve them. Most people set goals based on what they already know they can achieve, so there is no growth.

If we can remember our purpose - whether that's individually or at a company - there is much more inspiration around the journey toward the goal, and it seems much less daunting to achieve it.

I'm noticing how often certain words come up when I'm in the space of inspiration. Purpose is the word today - but it's so fun to be awake to all the miracles that are always present!

What are you noticing?
