Thursday's Thoughts

Tavia Robinson

“True glory consists in doing what deserves to be written, in writing what deserves to be read, and in so living as to make the world happier and better for our living in it.”

– Pliny the Elder


How do the words above resonate with you?


Pause here and free yourself from distractions:


Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...


I interpret the reference of “true glory” in the above quote as living a life of purpose.


What’s your purpose? Think about that for a moment...


In all the chaos and confusion that life throws at us, it’s easy to loose sight of ones purpose. Iyanla Vanzant’s words below offer a formula to refocus and get back on track:

When your life has purpose, you will rise above all difficulties.
Stay focused: Discover your goal, your purpose, and your mission.
Your goal is the what of your life. The place you end up.

What is your end point?

What brings you joy?

What will life look like when you arrive? Write it down and visualize it every day...

Your purpose is the why of your life. The reason you are moving toward you goal. We were each born for some purpose.

Why do you want to achieve this goal? The thing that motivates you, wakes you up, The reason you live...

Your mission is the how of your life.

How will you focus your energy to demonstrate to your goal..? Your goals in action..

How will you get to the end? The ever evolving plan...


“There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It’s why you were born. And how you become most truly alive.” – Oprah Winfrey


What are you willing to do as you continue to learn and grow?


Don’t miss your opportunity. Be intentional. Encourage others to do the same and watch what happens.


You got this!
