I picked up a book tonight that I set aside when we left for vacation. I started to read this passage, it was something that I needed to be reminded of:
Wait until your intention is clear...Countless people are looking for motivation in the wrong places...Motivation, the kind that carries seed ideas to fruition with energy and passion, comes from a clear intent. Knowing what you want to do, with unwavering conviction, is the spark that generates everything else...Confusion and uncertainty divide the flow of life into separate, weak channels....The right kind of waiting involves discrimination: inwardly sorting out what feels right from what doesn't...you keep an eye out for the spark that refuses to be extinguished ...in hindsight, one can see that the individuals who held out until clear intent revealed itself were the lucky ones. Despite stress, peer pressure, and doubt, they had inner strength to trust that "something is out there waiting."The fog that shrouds your soul may be thick, but it will clear if you want it to, however long the process takes.
