Years ago my only pleasure was spending some time with her on a daily basis and one day i confessed that, i may not live without seeing her.
She smiled and replied, you will go heights and for sure we will not meet on daily basis. It was hard to believe because, those days i have no power. My purpose in life wasn’t clear and obviously pleasure was only thing surfaced.
For most of human beings pain and pleasure are two strong driving forces and triggers their actions. In either case, the actions will come to stop once the pain is pacified or if the pleasure is missed. Think of your membership on dance class, gym or most of our new year resolutions.
Few months ago i reached to a point of niggle in the mind and was costing a lot of my time and energy. As a result of continuous thinking and careful assessment on various engagements in my personal and professional life that i was into, i have come to this conclusion on one early morning, Power your Purpose over Pleasure.
Here are my top 3 benefits by following this
- Helps in meticulous planning of my time.
- Conscious seeking of pleasures of value over petty pleasures.
- Focused attentions on my task list.
How can it be achieved?
Just pay attention, are those pleasures which you are seeking giving you the power are draining your energy? If draining we need to redirect our very purpose of seeking those pleasures. What are the true intentions behind?
It’s okay to fall back for some time.
Recharge, reorient and be radiant with your higher purpose in life and power it up over your petty pleasures pusing in negativity.
