This statement has become a daily slap in the face, like cold water splashing the sleep away. As I continually evaluate my life, current situations, needed decisions and desires. As I am becoming more aware of the consequences of my decisions, this statement forces me to clearly pursue an understanding of my motives. Motives can simply be defined as “Why do I do the things that I do and who do I do them for?”.
As a self-aware being with a sense of responsibility and accountability I am daily pressed into the path of self-judgment and reevaluation. I think this is a result of my desire to live my life well, to truly be a learner, to continually grow and ultimately live a life that produces “fruit that remains.”
In the days ahead I want to pursue the gathering thoughts and questions concerning change, absolutes, change agents, values, and life in very specific expressions. The formation of the whole person is a challenge and a process and I intend to become an expert, even if it takes me a thousand years.
