Time for Goal-Setting
Many feel life is passing by too quickly. We move from one season to the next and wonder where time went. Days, months and years fly by at tremendous speed and we can’t seem to get anything we want done. At some point in our lives, we start to wonder if we are accomplishing all that we set out to achieve. We feel like we waste much of the precious gift of our life’s breaths and our time in useless pursuits. There is a saying to remind us about the importance of every breath, “Think about each moment. For what are we trading it away?” Do we want to trade it away for thoughts of anger or greed? Do we want to trade it away to brood over the past or worry about the future? Or do we wish to spend the moment in doing something to discover who we really are and to find out why we are here? It would be valuable to engage in goal-setting by deciding what is important in life. If we wish to develop our body, our mind, or our soul, we need to allot time to it. If we wish to uncover the luminosity and riches of our soul, spending some time daily in meditation can help us reach that goal. The more time we can put in for this quest, the better. By sitting like this for some time each day, we would find that we would be using our time for lasting spiritual gains. The byproduct of this is that it also has an effect on improving our physical, mental and emotional health and wellness.
