Every purpose is trying to improve our lives in a small or sometimes a big way, but it’s best to think of them as building blocks on the way to a bigger purpose. Purposes are pieces of the puzzle that help us to make gains in our lives if we can focus on them and commit to them.

If we feel that things are starting to turn on us either with the people around us or with the thing we are doing, we should always look for something that can mentally or physically engage us. We always need to read what’s possible at the time because forcing something to happen will never turn out to be fun for anyone.

We need to be willing to get results that are not what we really want now because it is the best thing for the big picture later. We can choose the way we KNOW is the best because WE know that our decision is not selfish and our choice comes from good intentions.

The things we should do will give us experiences that have the potential to change us slightly. They will change how we feel about our lives and ourselves, and give us a different way of looking at everything. Even when these feelings have gone, they have already changed us slightly and permanently.

When we regret things that we’ve done we also see what we did right and what we did wrong in a situation. And when we revisit these situations as we remember them we strengthen what is right and what is wrong for us. This then becomes a powerful tool for us to use in the present, and it is especially useful when we are faced with challenging situations.

So our lives change and we change and this pattern repeats again and again until we are very different to the people we were at the beginning. But not only that, these changes are making us stronger for the next thing and the next thing. So that we are always able to deal with what is coming up. And in this way we can trust that the future is something we are ready for.

But the main way these things affect us is that they slightly change WHO we are so that the next time it happens we will react differently. After a difficult time we should notice these changes. Nothing has really changed on the outside but on the inside we are slightly different.

The future can be scary and unpredictable. What we CAN do though is to start looking at the patterns that our lives are following. So if we pay attention to the patterns and the way things turn out we will have a better idea of what will happen. And most importantly we can stop worrying so much and trust that this time, as it was last time, everything will turn out fine.

Criticism often poses an internal dilemma: Do we need to change? We're often shown areas for improvement through criticisms, nudging us to adapt our behavior. However, there's a thin line between self-improvement and morphing ourselves into someone else's desired image. As we navigate through this challenge, reaffirming that we've done the right thing underpins our self-confidence, helping us to maintain authenticity amidst change.

We often grapple with uncontrollable situations, trying to steer them towards outcomes we deem best. Yet, it's crucial to trust the process and accept the way things turn out. This acceptance isn't always easy when confronted with unfavorable situations. However, keeping faith in eventual progress and acknowledging the current state as the best, for now, can slowly redefine who we are.
