PSALMS 1 UPDATED - PURPOSE

 

1:1
Find better within you, so you can be better. It isn't who you are as a person that is ever 'not good enough', only the parts of you which can be improved

 

1:2

When you think of the best way you could possibly be, what is the feeling that goes with it?

 

1:3

It's not a question of can you do it, but 'can you see it being done'?

 

1:4

It is unrealistic to believe if the belief brings you nothing, but it is not completely without merit

 

1:5

More self-confidence opens more opportunities and within this, belief is essential

 

1:6

When you think of the past do not think about how it has found you falling short

 

2:1

Look at it as the essential process towards becoming who you wish to be

 

2:2

There is a difference between having something better and having something extra

 

2:3

Seeking better seats discontent

 

2:4

Which plays to a deficit when you need move forward

 

2:5

Hold everything you have as precious

 

2:6

Because the better you seek could just as easily become worse

 

2:7

Nothing permits when nothing is asked

 

2:8

Giving is the same as receiving

 

2:9

As it goes further than the expectation of nothing gained

 

2:10

Something is better than nothing, and for every something over your purpose, there is someone with nothing in need

 

2:11

Do you seek better as one with something, to those with nothing?

 

2:12

It is not to say that because others have less you should feel content, only appreciate that you have more than they

 

3:1

You move forward from here grateful for every bit extra that you receive

 

3:2

The less you're concerned with having a better life

 

3:3

The more you enjoy the path to finding it

 

3:4

So many ask the question of what this world holds for them and the meaning of life, without asking why it is they think they ask the question

 

3:5

Is tomorrow going to be any different if the answer were to be given? And is the meaning of life to be found within the answer, if indeed it even could be given?

 

3:6

It is less about what the meaning of life is, and more about how we can bring meaning to life

 

3:7

The answer itself, lays within our ability to ask the question

 

3:8

The question, is the answer

 

4:1

We have belief, because we seek understanding in something greater than ourselves

 

4:2

But what could be greater than ourselves, as those capable of seeking such understanding?

 

4:3

Remember that you do not need to be right, in order to find peace within what you have learned about this world

 

4:4

And others need not be wrong, in order for you to appreciate their journey in all the beauty of its difference, when compared to your own

 

4:5

To believe, is not to see an end to the questions. Because without these questions, such belief would hold no meaning

 

4:6

If everything were to be answered, all at once, life would hold little meaning

 

4:7

Life is precious, because it can be held within contemplation of itself

 

4:8

This is what we are

 

5:1

We are neither the question posed, nor the answer in any culmination or definitive form. But the consideration of all which comes in between

 

5:2

The fluid nature of water, is exactly the same as that of thought

 

5:3

Though both can be held within you perfectly, it is much harder to hold them within your hands for offering

 

5:4

And we would drink of the waters from our own hands, before we would from the hands of another

 

5:5

This is the essence of experience. It is amazing. It is horrible. It is beautiful, and it is disgusting

 

5:6

But it is yours. And what more could you, as yourself, ever need?

 

5:7

And within the same likeness with water, belief represents our thirst. A taste in reflection to our own specific needs and wants

 

5:8

So where does purpose fit in to all these things?

 

5:9

Is their purpose within belief?

 

5:10

Do we drink just to sustain ourselves? Or does it form our part within processes far bigger than ourselves?

 

5:11

Why should we be here tomorrow to sate our thirst? Or maintain our beliefs?

 

5:12

When the sun sets tomorrow, what difference was made by us being here to eat, drink, breathe, believe, love and feel pain?

 

6:1

Is the world better off tomorrow, than it was today, because I was here to do all these things?

 

6:2

Did my understanding of this world help to lessen our collective pain in some way?

 

6:3

Do we know more? Do we love more? Do we pain less?

 

6:4

We can see that this world loves us. We can believe that we were created for something greater than ourselves

 

6:5

Yet we can still overlook the reason for why we are able to do such things. Which is purpose

 

6:6

The question itself is not the problem. Just as the answer is not the solution

 

6:7

The important part of looking for, finding, or understanding your purpose, is within the experience itself

 

6:8

Along our journey we can exist within a state of creation. Or we can exist within a state of decay

 

6:9

Which we represent, is ours to choose. Regardless of our differences, how we live, what we understand, or what we choose to believe

 

6:10

You need not know where you are going, to find your way

 

7:1

You need only take the next best step that you can possibly take

 

7:2

The best step that is available and open to you

 

7:3

It may not be much, but where it leads you, may be huge

 

7:4
When all is said and done, and your time in this world is done. It will be the things you did not do, that you will likely regret, more than the things you did

 

7:5

What is it that you will leave behind?

 

7:6

What part of you will live on, when you are gone?

 

7:7

This will be your life after death, on Earth

 

7:8

This is purpose

 

7:9

Your ability to look back at your life, at the end of your time here, and know you did well

 

7:10

You did good, and you left behind love and creation, rather than pain and decay
