Reflection: Where Are You Going

Where are you going? What do you plan to do? Ever ask yourself these questions? When we think about them we can view them simplistically, for example, “I’m going to the supermarket,” or “I’m going to New York.” We can also probe more deeply by expanding each question a bit. Where are you going becomes where are you going with your life.’What do you plan to do becomes what do you plan to do when you get to wherever your going. If we ignore thinking about these questions they default to a preprogrammed answer of nowhere. Human being operate best when they have a goal or clear destination in mind. If you’re inclined to delve a bit deeper to the questions, once you have an answer to them, ask yourself why. Why did I choose this answer? Are there other alternatives? Is there something better I could have chosen? Your life is important. Make choices about your direction that results in you maximizing your potential.
