Sunday Story…Like a Moth

To Flame. Drawn to the light or the heat or? Moths (all of them) have no agency in that process…they will go to the flame. It’s an automatic response. Turn on your outdoor lights and boom! Bugs flock to the light. No choice.

You have a choice. You are drawn to things that give you the “hit” you want or need. Is it some endorphin drop? Is it a hedonistic hit? Is it a danger? Is it safety? It doesn’t matter what it is, what satisfaction or drive you derive from the activity you are going to do what is takes to get there.

You aren’t a moth. We are all NOT driven to the same thing. But we are driven. The question is whether you are driven to something that serves you well or not so well.

Be driven to the things that will give you what you seek. Not the things that give you what you want. There is a difference. The trick is in knowing what that difference is!

Drive is important but aimless drive is self defeating. Be a moth to the flame you choose.
