The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live.

Pointing toward purpose

Delight in dreaming about what could be. But don’t take permanent refuge in those unfulfilled dreams.

Instead, start working your way to them, little by little. Begin to transform those dreams into your actual reality.

Give yourself credit for everything you’ve already been able to achieve. Then point that process of achievement directly at the dreams you long to reach.

There is great value in moving toward something positive and desirable. Even if you are not fully committed or confident, you can go through the motions, and that has value too.

You are at your best when you are pointing toward a meaningful purpose. That purpose will bring energy, resourcefulness, and determination to the surface.

Go ahead, imagine the future in a positive way, and take a step in the direction of that future. Discover for yourself how a positive vision for the future can improve your experience of life right now.

— Ralph Marston
