Purpose?...Direction?
“The
number of people today who lack a strong sense of purpose
is astounding. Pulitzer-winning writer Katherine Anne
Porter observed: ‘I am appalled at the aimlessness
of most people's lives. Fifty percent don't pay any attention
to where they are going; forty percent are undecided and
will go in any direction. Only ten percent know what they
want, and even all of them don't go toward it.'. . .
"And
as philosopher-poet Ralph Waldo Emerson said, ‘The
world makes a way for the man who knows where he is going.' "
