Be Clear

ByMatthew

It’s not so much how busy you are, but why you are busy. The bee is praised. The mosquito is swatted. – Mary Flannery O’Connor

It’s not enough to not be passive, one must have desire.

It’s not enough to move, one must have a purpose.

It’s not enough to be active, one must be working towards a worthy goal.

So many of us confuse movement for action, or busy-ness for worthwhile activity.

Be clear.

Tap into your desires.

Know your purpose(s).

Be clear about your goals – and yes, be sure they’re worthy.
