purpose driven life

Avenue Q OST - Purpose



Motivation is like a kick in the backside. Most people need that kick to get moving. Myself, I probably need a million kicks. Unless it's something that really matters to me, then I'd need just one mega-powered-up-kick.



For a long time, I've been searching for something to make of my life. I found it last Thursday after prayer. As I was watching Andy coach swimmers at the pool next door, I realised that I miss the life of a swimmer. I miss having coaches yell at me from opposite ends of the pool, and I miss being constantly submerged in chlorine water 5 times a week.



So I'm putting this resolve up on my blog to let people know about it and therefore, constantly remind me to keep at it: I'm going to start training and go back to waterpolo. It's not the trophies or accolades that shape my resolve, but the fact that being in a pool is what I've always loved to do. I was cleaning my shelf yesterday and every trophy and medal I wiped reminded me of a life that I once loved, and still do. Even though all these things would fade away when I die, at least the present satisfaction of having a life well led and doing the things I love would ensure a fruitful life.
