Day 55e: The finest goals to Have … (06/08/2019)
“Comfort and success and pleasure and influence are quite acceptable goals to have, no doubt. And yet they are all goals as ultimately fleeting as they are inevitably unattainable. Indeed, they are all goals fully dependent upon external circumstances beyond one’s control, and as such they are all goals that can never fulfill a lasting promise of Joy or Peace. No, my friends, strive instead for the things more weighty and indelible — Service and Charity and Kindness and Love, for these are not the things one gets for completing or knowing the Path. Instead, they are the things one profoundly experiences while boldly walking it.” ~ inspired by Steve Maraboli
