Travis plans to "REAP" in the coming year.
Happy New Year everyone!
Now that we are beginning a new year - my goal is to build on the momentum and discipline I had to exhibit this past month. I have spoken a few times about the "purpose statement" I created for myself last April. Once again, my purpose statement is as follows:
To...
Reflect only Love
Expect only Perfection
Accept only Truth
Project only Light
Yeah, it's also an acronym for "reap." So, if that is what I am trying to reap, I think I will be happy with what I am sowing ;)
This past month, I needed to put my purpose statement to work every day. As I mentioned, there were a number of days when I wasn't sure how I was going to get things done, but going down a road of worry and fear wouldn't accomplish anything. It was during these times when I would say, "No," and then remember that my only purpose is to "reflect love" in the work I do, "expect perfection" as the result of my labor, "accept Truth" as the only reality, and to "project Light" to everyone I came in contact with. That's it, period!
I couldn't worry about the outside factors, stress over what others were doing, or get caught up with what still needed to be done. Instead, I just stuck to my purpose statement.
Look at it: Four simple points. But, when applied to any situation or obstacle those four simple ideas keep me on track - every time!
Look at them. They leave no room for doubt. No room for fear. All I have to do is use my purpose statement as a framework for everything I do. It gives me a measuring stick to hold every thought and action up against to make sure I am staying on purpose. That is all I need to do, because ultimately my thoughts and actions are the only thing I can control.
Whatever happens as a result I can live with because I know it is the product of living my purpose. This is what it means to me to live Spirit - and let spirituality be an everyday part of my life.
So, 2007! My goal is to live my purpose statement every day. I am expecting some big things in 2007, but I don't know what exactly they will be, and when they will happen. Do you ;) ?
So, I want to hear from you. Write your own purpose statement, and tell me how you are going to try to live to your highest purpose every day. I would love to post some of your purpose statements for everyone to read. So please send them my way.
Much love to you all! Read more from this blogger at Travis Inc.
