Material possessions and leisure-time activities can attract your notice like never before today, leading you to act on impulses you might otherwise reject. You may not realize you are thinking and acting compulsively until you notice that you have fewer resources to devote to the tasks and goals most important to you. Ensuring that you make good use of your resources today can be as simple as thinking carefully about the blessings you have at your disposal at this point in your existence. You will likely soon come to understand that both your possessions and your intangible resources have value you can tap when pursuing your purpose.
Our resources are precious to us because they can have a major impact on the direction our evolution can take. Impulsivity in one area of our lives tends to foreshadow the hidden compulsiveness in our existence as a whole. If we learn to treat our talents, energy, time, and money like the important tools that they are, we are less likely to squander these away when in the pursuit of some larger purpose. However sorely we are tempted to devote these elements of the self to less important tasks or desires, we understand that it is our resources that stand between us and potentially tragic missteps. We can thus temper temptation by reminding ourselves of the vital nature of the goals we have long nurtured. You will cease to be prone to compulsivity today when you remember what it is you truly hope to accomplish in this life.
