Meditate Awake

Elbert Hubbard was a writer, publisher, philosopher and an artist. He believed that we could all live more fulfilling lives if we “work to become, not to acquire.” What does your job or career help you become? What do you want to become? Whether or not you feel as though you’re on the right path right now, this is sound advice. Acquiring wealth or possessions as a result of your work is all good — but the chances are that it’s not the money or the things that you really crave. Instead, perhaps you want to become secure. To become respected. To become free. To become calm. Focus on those things. So we ask again: what do you want to become? Tell us in the comments; we’d love to know.
