Aspiration  --  Week 17 

Aspiration is the profound longing for purpose and fulfilment, joy and happiness, which lies deep – and sometimes buried – in our hearts, and in the heart of every living being. It is the voice inside that urges us to use our life well and to make the best of whatever gifts and passions we possess. The way we choose to respond to that voice will determine all the other choices we make in our lives.   Aspiration is the fuel of change. It feeds on our hope that life could be better or more meaningful, and our willingness to do something differently to make this happen. It is a call to action. The happiest and most contented people are usually those who have found a way to put their aspirations for self and others into practice, and have thereby played an active part in creating a better world.

mind of a person, look not at what they
have already achieved, but
at what they aspire to.”

"HOW WE FIND MEANING"   (review)

If everything is changing, many things are possible.

Your search for meaning will depend on your ability and willingness to explore new and unfamiliar territory.  This is why it is often called a ‘path’.  

It is a challenge to venture deep into yourself to explore your inner strength and longings, and find out how to use them to create a happy and fulfilling life. 

The process may be tough, demanding, and exhausting, but also thrilling, liberating and profound. 

Who are you? What are you doing here? How can you make the best of the years you spend on Earth?
