A Quote by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Have a goal in life. When water is everywhere, it is a flood, but if it is in between banks, it is a river. It is nice to have a goal, so your life force gets channelized!

Write down the area of your life that most needs your attention right now and then write out all the details you saw of your soul's vision for this part of your life.

When you reach your goal, when you fulfill that desire, what will it make room for? Write that all down.

The vileness or inhumanity of the path to the goal makes you vile or inhuman, and the goal unattainable.
