What I have discovered, as I work with people, is that until someone has a vision, dream or something they are focusing on, they would lack the energy to make progress. No matter how you try to push or motivate someone, if they do not have an image of purpose, they will not move. I remember a girl who suddenly started exercising everyday some weeks before her wedding just to look good on her wedding day. Today, six years after her wedding, she is about twice her former size. It is dangerous to live without a purpose because we will go with whatever life dishes us and regret at the end of our lives. This is not the only reason we should identify what to live for, when we do not live for anything, we will help others live out their own purpose. This is not a bad thing since our dreams are connected to those of others, but when we are forced to live other people's dreams because we cannot identify and focus on our own, life becomes a frustration. We will just be doing the motions without any satisfaction. It is focus on a purpose that produces the energy for passion to succeed. I have been dealing with this subject a lot lately because of the lackadaisical attitude of many people that I come across. This is the reason why some people complain constantly about others or they criticise everything others do, they are looking for who to blame rather than look at their lives and see what they can do to make their lives more interesting and more satisfying. They become envious of people's success and this spills out as anger and bitterness against those who are succeeding with their lives. Until you have a clear picture of where you are going and what you want to accomplish with your life, you cannot be passionate about anything neither will you have success of any significant. Enjoy your day!
