Choosing What One Desires

To develop depth a man must practice choosing
what he desires - being clear about what is most
important to him, and moving forward with action.
Sometimes this practice will manifest results in
the moment, but most often reaching a larger goal,
living in alignment with purpose, requires making
choices; choices that may not be the most pleasurable
in the moment; choices that require saying "No;"
choices that postpone and delay pleasure. We can
choose how we use the hours and days of our lives,
who we share our life with. Choice is one of our
greatest freedoms and responsibilities. Shallow men
are washed along with the currents of life and soon
find themselves washed up and stranded in some
backwater of life.
