Directly there
The shortest distance between two points is a simple, direct
line. The most effective, fulfilling way to live life is to
live it directly.<P>
When some particular task must be done, you could waste a
lot of time and energy on resentment, anger, avoidance and
procrastination. Or you can simply get busy and get it
done.<P>
When you make a mistake, you could put a lot of wasted
effort into covering it up, crafting an excuse, or
pretending that it did not happen. What's best, though, is
to simply accept it, admit it, deal with the consequences,
and move along.<P>
In order to be accepted and liked by others, you could labor
endlessly so as to live in the right neighborhood, drive the
right car, wear the right clothes and eat in the right
restaurants. Or, you can simply be genuine, considerate,
respectful, friendly and helpful.<P>
If your life is continuously running up against
complications and frustrations, stop and ask yourself what
it is you truly want. Then consider that there is very
likely a more direct way.<P>
Seek to be more direct in your words, your actions, your
plans and your thoughts. You'll make far more progress when
your energy is focused along a sure and direct path.<P>
