From The Desk of Maverick Brenton.
Subject: Being Clear In What You Wish To Achieve.
It’s question time again.
And today I’ve got another important question for you.
This one is common sense.
It’s obvious.
It’s simple.
Yet…
Most people don’t have what I am going to talk about.
They’re drifters.
They’re pretenders.
They’re living their life like time is an infinite resource.
Guess what?
Time is not an infinite resource.
It runs out faster than you think.
Every single day that you allow to slip through your fingers is a day that you will never get back.
It’s gone.
Forever.
So ask yourself the following question.
Ask it sincerely.
Consider carefully how you will answer it.
What Are You Aiming At In Your Life?
Simple question right.
But can you answer it honestly.
Or.
Are you completely clueless regarding what you are working towards?
Are you just wandering around in the darkness with no aim or objective?
You need to work these things out.
You NEED to have an aim.
An objective.
A mission.
Every day, time runs out.
Every day, you get older.
Every day, your body decays.
You lose a little life with every second that passes.
So how long do you plan on wandering through life without a clear aim or objective?
Another week?
Another month?
Another year?
You’re not guaranteed to be alive next week let alone one year from now.
So..
Get that fucking idea out of your head.
Stop wasting the opportunity sitting right in front of your face.
Seize it.
Take full advantage of it.
At any time, something bad could happen to you.
It could leave you unable to do anything.
You could get hit by a car.
You could get cancer.
You don’t know.
You really don’t.
So stop acting like you own time.
You don’t.
Time owns you.
Time determines how long you get.
It decides when you are finished.
And unless you have a DEFINITE aim for your life.
Unless you have an objective to work towards.
You will accomplish nothing.
An aim to aspire towards will give your life meaning.
It will give you something to chip away at every single day.
Without it – what are you going to do?
Exist?
Fuck that.
Rocks exist because they have no choice.
Dirt exists because it has no choice.
But you have a choice.
You can exist.
Or.
You can live.
Do not sit around on your ass all day and do nothing.
You must hustle.
You must get better.
You must not allow yourself to stagnate.
Keep moving forward.
Every single day.
Even if it is only just a little.
Stop being content with less than what you are capable of.
Demand more from yourself.
You are capable of much more than what you are doing.
I can almost guarantee that.
Most of us do not function anywhere near our full potential.
Without a vision to work towards - you’re a lost cause.
A victim of circumstance.
You’re just surviving.
You are just existing.
So KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING.
You must also make sure it’s what you want.
Don’t live to please others.
Most people don’t set their goals.
They think they are.
But..
It is not really them.
It’s all the voices inside their head.
When you write down what you really want – you will FEEL IT.
It will feel right.
You won’t be jerking off in your head about some false life fantasy that is the product of you trying to impress other people.
A fantasy like:
“I want to own a brand new supercharged jeep and live in a big house in the suburbs and get paid lots of money and have a high status.”
That’s a stupid goal.
It has no substance.
It is empty of meaning
It’s clearly based off your need to impress other people.
It is a product of your insecurities.
What’s a good goal?
“I want work that makes me valuable to the community I live in. I want to be in good health and have financial freedom. I want a great social life and strong relationships with the people around me.”
That’s a good goal because it is based on meaningful things.
It is based on what will actually make you a happy human being.
It’s not based on “stuff”.
Don’t set goals based on “stuff”.
Stuff does not matter.
Stuff is just stuff.
When you achieve goals based on stuff, you will be left with a feeling of emptiness.
When you achieve goals based on meaningful things - you will have fulfilment.
So..
Know what you are aiming at.
Know where you are heading.
Until Next Time.
