What’s your driving goal?

What’s the ambitious driving goal that you have set for yourself and hold onto no matter what life throws at you? It should be something that stretches you on some level – emotionally, physically, financially, mentally. It’s just far enough out of reach to seem unattainable and yet close enough to feel possible. It doesn’t actually matter if you don’t reach it…Sometimes the notion and desire are enough of a thread to hold onto when the madness of life questions your sanity. What’s your mountain?  May you strive for it.

What are your challenges/obstacles?

What are the obstacles that you have to overcome in life?  We all have challenges to face in life – death, divorce, retrenchment, Illness, depression….  The challenges come in all sorts of forms but all of them provide opportunity for growth.  No caterpillar ever became a butterfly without a fair amount of pain and effort.  In the wise words of His Holiness the Dalai Lama “When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.” What’s your mountain?  May you overcome it.

Where do you go to find God?

No matter what your religious beliefs or upbringing, a key part of living is to find a way to feel integrated and connected to the source which is greater than ourselves. Our ways connecting differ, but invariably each of us go searching for the spiritually that lies at our core. There are traditional places of worship, places of natural beauty or even just the quite places that lie within. What’s your mountain?  May you discover it.
