Purpose - Having a great vehicle and a great driver is pointless unless you are going somewhere.

Most people only move from one situation to another when they are forced to move by some pressure or force of circumstance. If I have an accurate map which will enable me to navigate across a strange city and I don't read it, I am unlikely to reach my desired destination. I must locate my present position and my desired destination to be able to navigate.

As we care for ourselves, come to know who we are and become aware of where we are in our relationships; we can take our first steps toward making choices that will enrich our own lives. This will assist us to move toward our purpose which will provide fulfilment and happiness. Only when we know our present position, can we navigate toward a goal.

When we know who we are and where we are, we can cease to be driven by impersonal forces in the world around us. We can begin to plan and take control of our journey through life. When we know who we are and where we are, we can understand a little of our present behaviour and make decisions about the kind of future we want to aim for. If our future is different to our present lifestyle, we can choose to make changes to achieve our goals.
