When The Stars Align

When The Stars Align

Through the years, psychologists have consistently confirmed in their studies the one factor which most accurately predicts increased feelings of satisfaction in people's lives is a SENSE OF PURPOSE and conversely, the lack of it equally accurately predicts the opposite and leads to DEPRESSION, HOPELESSNESS and even ANXIETY.  And according to these experts, it DOESN'T matter what that SENSE OF PURPOSE is, merely that it is.  For one person, maybe it's all about caretaking for aging parents.  That kind of unique circumstance could lead one to achieve seemingly SUPERHUMAN feats like carrying her parents up a long flight of stairs despite enduring severe back problems.  And this leads us all to it When The Stars Align⏳⏳⏳
 

For another fellow, it could be getting immersed in art or picking up a hobby one longed for a long time.  And as long as there is something before us, it seems something to work toward that has meaning to us, regardless whether it has meaning to anyone else or NOT, as our lives will certainly NEVER be perfect, but they will be vastly better than they would be otherwise.  In short, PURPOSE makes life worth living and the absence of it, in my humble opinion, would be our worst undoing💎💎💎

So, in the vastness of the solar system, how do we pull this off when the stars align?  First things first, we must accept things as they are and NOT as we wish them to be.  By this, I DON'T mean that we should like the way things are BUT instead, NOT liking the way things are is a great reason to put your mind to changing them.  Again, that leads us to when the stars align💊💊💊

Having said this, we need to be realistic enough about the way things are so that we can create our goals that are then achievable as compared to setting ideal goals.  HOW?  First off, accept your limitations.  If you're NOT into physically strenuous activities, then DON'T hope to be a gym coach.  That becomes essential because NOT only that you're guaranteeing your failure if you choose to take that path📌📌📌

Furthermore, we need to establish what we really value.  Then we can align our VALUES with all sorts of things but this is something NOT to be dictated by anyone else BUT you yourself.  To translate our focus when the stars align, we got to enact our values to come up with concrete steps aligned with our goal and PURPOSE IN LIFE and then commit to it especially when the stars align❗❗❗
