Be clear with your goal in yourself

Be CLEAR with your goals
especially the short-term ones,
for they are those which you PICK up to test them for yourself.
to make them go through the test
and see if they pass the fire.

in both case it is a blessing,
if they perish
you get rid of falsehood
and they disappear from obstructing your vision.

yet if they pass
then you chose a successful mount
and made it yours
by cementing yourself with it through the fire.

so always be clear with your goal,
with what you expect
nothing is wrong
wrong is only to be unclear (and deaf, dumb and blind) to yourself
communicate first with yourself
what is your own goal
make it yours
by feeling whether you can appropriate it innerly
once done
there is nothing more to it
except to voice it when the time come
and see where it leads you to.

but you NEED to keep the same point of view
till its success or failure
and not swerve
for you have to test it
to see if you can mount it or not.

only so, can you, and this LITERALLY speaking,
PROGRESS on the PATH.
