Guided by Our Reactive Noses · Clear Point & Bearings In Life
⁘ “Walking with the dog. Going wherever the nose points. But that can't always be the case in our lives. If you always follow your nose, wherever your desires lead you, wherever your fears lead you away from – then how conditioned you are. If you don't have clear direction, well set bearings, you can never be proactive. You're simply reacting as it happens.”
Here we are.
Gazing and musing at the world once again.
Walking with the dog.
Basically going wherever the nose points.
Hopefully going forward, right?
But that can't always be the case in our lives.
If you always follow your nose,
chase the carrot, wherever your desires lead you,
wherever your fears lead you away from –
then how conditioned you are.
To pause and actually ask the question,
“What am I aiming for?” Do you have your bearings?
Or are you simply running off a vague idea,
basically winging it as it happens?
What's your aim?
What's your point?
What's your direction?
What of the big picture of your life are you actually fulfilling
by going in that particular direction?
If you don't have clear direction,
well set bearings,
you can never be proactive.
You are simply reacting as it happens.
