If you know where you're going, you'll get there faster.

If the destination point is total bliss and satisfaction, wouldn't you want to run to it? Total bliss and satisfaction is getting to the end goal, finishing what you've started and reaping the results. I want to get to my end goal, but first I have to know what that is. When you know where you want to go, you get there faster.

If you know what you are looking for, you will ignore and not waste your time with all of the other things you see or find along the way. It is important for me to have a complete vision and to know where I want to go, what I want to do, then start, continue and finish!

Sometimes I am standing when I would prefer to be walking or running toward my intended destination. The distractions that present (and which I get caught up in) fog up my focus and instead of traveling toward my destination, I am side tracked.

When this happens its a lot like being a football player on a field. I have the ball (my vision) but I need to get to the goal (fulfillment). Other players are rushing at me to prevent me from getting there and some are rushing at me to take the ball!  In football, some player's only mission is to knock you down!  I hope this analogy demonstrates the challenges we all face as we head toward our end goals. (Note: when you are knocked down, get up and brush yourself off like the players do. Don't waste time replaying the knock down in your mind.)

People I meet along the way with a focus on their own vision have a positive influence. People I meet who have forgotten their purpose distract me and sometimes ask for more attention than they need.   At the moment they believe they need and want the attention of another, but what they need is to harness the energy of their own attention.  With their energy focused they have the ability to return to their own journey.
 
Recognizing this situation before you find yourself on someone else's journey saves you both, time. No one wants to be off track from their own mission.  Everyone is designed for a unique purpose and the process of realizing that purpose is their unique journey. Time is the resource for realizing purpose, which is why we shouldn't waste it.

Where do you want to go and what do you want to do today? Stay focused and hurry up! Your bliss and satisfaction awaits you!

Be well and be happy!
