Do you want to be....

(fill in the blank: healthy, happy, famous, wealthy, etc. - and... are any of the wants in competition with other wants? and/or if you could have just one want - do you have one that is the most important?). Why the apparent restriction? Because being any (improvement) takes your concentrated involvement. Example: it's the same process when you say you're sorry... if you have no intention of changing, why bother saying anything!? If you won't make the effort to - change your attitude, make the necessary adjustments, leave your unresolved emotion, etc. - why do you mouth the words?

Actually, in my world of definitions, repentance is an action related to the main object, focus. It is never only just words. If you aren't willing to change, improve then saying you're sorry or repenting of what happened is merely empty words. Simply... not enough. So... what do you want? How do you want to be viewed - by others, yes, but mostly by yourself?

Returning to the original question - what are you seeking? What do you want for you? What are you willing to pay or what cost are you willing to bear to attain (fill in the blank)? Is it an immediate or long-term want? These represent only a few of the issues you need to consider in order to reach your goal(s). Bottom line... just how important is you to you? Because however you choose for you, this is how you are defining you.

Do you want to be... happy? Healthy? Financially strong? Fulfilled? Whatever it is that you want, can it be attained... at least at some level that you will be satisfied with? If so, then what are you willing to do to attain it? Dreams are wonderful, but those that come true typically happen when we do what WE can to attain them. My father always told me to dream big and then do what I could to make certain I had done everything I could to reach them. But along the way to attainment... look to the next dream.
