Affirmation of relevance
If you could instantly have whatever you wanted, none of it would mean anything. It’s your investment of time, attention and effort that gives value to whatever you experience or possess.
The object of your desire is not really what you desire. What you desire is meaning, relevance, to have an impact on existence.
Your objectives provide a framework for expressing that meaning, for producing that impact. The process is just as important as the result, often even more so.
To dream of acquiring anything without the slightest effort is not only delusional. It also blocks you from the very result you long for, which is an affirmation of your relevance.
Your life does indeed matter. And the more focused, purposeful effort you put forth the more deeply you encounter your own significance.
Pay attention to what you desire, and remind yourself of what that desire’s message really is. It’s compelling you to be the person and take the kinds of actions that will bring your objective to life.
— Ralph Marston
