Living Each Moment with Intention: The Power of Will

Life, at its essence, is a tapestry woven from countless moments. Each thread, each instance, holds the potential to define us, to shape the path we walk, and to elevate the spirit within us. But how often do we pass through these moments passively, carried by the current of circumstances rather than actively steering our course?

At the core of our being lies the spirit, a force driven by our will. It is the will—our inner compass—that determines the trajectory of our actions, decisions, and ultimately, our destiny. To truly live, to fully engage with the life before us, we must consciously place our spirit into every moment.

This begins with a fundamental question, one that anchors us in the present and aligns us with purpose: “What do I want from this moment?”

The Power of Asking

Each moment offers a choice, an opportunity to act, reflect, or create meaning. By asking ourselves, “What do I want?” we transform from passive observers into active participants in our own lives. The act of questioning reconnects us with our desires, our goals, and our sense of agency.

The Danger of Passivity

When we neglect to ask this question, we risk falling into a state of passivity. We may begin to expect outcomes without effort or hope for change without action. But life rarely gifts us what we want without intention and effort. By excluding answers that rely on external forces—on things falling into place by sheer chance—we reclaim responsibility for our experiences.

Intentional Living

When we deliberately align our actions with our will, each moment becomes a building block of a purposeful life. Asking, “What do I want from this moment?” isn’t about selfish desires or material gain—it’s about clarity. Do you want to learn, connect, create, or simply find peace in a moment? Whatever the answer, it should guide your actions and ground you in authenticity.

Conclusion

Life is fleeting, and its richness lies in our ability to be present and intentional. By embracing the question of will and living with purpose, we infuse each moment with meaning. The driving force of our spirit is not something external; it is the answer we give to the moments before us. So, when you encounter life’s moments, pause, reflect, and ask yourself, “What do I want from this moment?” Then act, not passively, but with purpose and conviction.

The Divine Purpose of the Universe: Balance

Image
In exploring our spiritual nature, we uncover profound questions about the universe, ourselves, and what we often call God. One of the most fundamental questions, "Is there a God?" brings us to an even more insightful one: "What is God?" The answer may lie not in viewing God as an external entity, watching from afar, but rather as the universe itself—a vast, interconnected web of energy, matter, and forces. In this view, God is not a separate being but the essence of existence, and we, as living entities, are part of this whole. Understanding our connection to this universal energy offers insight into God’s true purpose. This purpose is not about judgment or intervention; rather, it is about balance. Life itself is a form of energy striving toward equilibrium. In nature, energy flows toward balance, maintaining stability, and thus endures. Through this lens, the purpose of God, and the universe itself, is the pursuit of balance. This balance manifests in subtle ways...

Change the world

Image
One day, I found myself reflecting on the world we inhabit. I began to question how it could be made better, more just, or more enlightened. But with every step I took in my contemplation, I stumbled into barriers—limitations in my understanding, gaps in my perspective. These barriers hindered my progress, preventing me from envisioning any meaningful change. I realized that these blockages weren’t external obstacles but internal limitations stemming from my own lack of knowledge. To surpass these hurdles, I had to delve deeper, exploring not only the intricate details of the world around me but also my understanding of its workings. I needed to expand my horizons and broaden my comprehension of what truly constitutes our world—its systems, its history, its interconnectedness. This realization led me to a simple yet profound conclusion: If one desires to change the world, the first and most essential step is to know it. This is not just about gathering facts, but about deeply understa...

The Role of Clothing in Civilization: Respect and Responsibility

Image
Clothing has always sparked debates and carried meanings beyond its original purpose. At its core, the motive behind wearing clothes seems straightforward: protection from the elements. Clothes shield us from heat, cold, rain, and other environmental factors. Yet, over time, clothing has been forcibly turned into a symbol of social status—something it was never meant to be. While it’s natural to value cleanliness and presentation as a sign of self-respect and respect for others, there’s another dimension to consider. Our bodies are our most personal and irreplaceable property. They are a gift from our parents, a miraculous vessel that allows us to experience life. As such, how we treat our bodies reflects the respect we hold for ourselves. Unfortunately, in today’s society, clothes are often used to amplify physical attributes in a way that prioritizes sexuality over decency. This undermines a critical form of respect: the respect that comes from modesty and self-discipline. Many indiv...
