purposefulness

Being Purposeful is having a clear focus, instead of being confused or unsure of what you are doing or why you are doing it. You are acting purposefully when you have a goal you are working toward. You concentrate your mind and your efforts so that something good will happen as a result.

You are practicing purposefulness when you...

  • Have a clear vision of what you want to accomplish
  • Know why you are doing it
  • Focus on a goal
  • Get back on purpose if you get scattered or distracted
  • Do things one at a time and finish what you start
  • Persevere until you get results
Affirmation

"I am purposeful. I am clear about what I am doing and why. I stay focused on my goals. I know I can accomplish great things."
