Your inner scorecard is the compass that points toward the person you’re meant to become, not the person others expect you to be. What’s on your inner scorecard?*

I would say self-actualisation is the unintentional effect of life’s intentionality.**
Viktor Frankl
I was handed a scorecard as
Christine and I took our grandson onto the mini-golf course (with
dinosaurs): who would come first, second, and
third?
When we’re in a finite game, the likelihood is,
We’ll measure our performances against one another
with the scorecard
provided.
We’re in trouble, though, if this is the
only scorecard we use; more crucial is the one
we have designed for ourselves: performance versus
potential.
But is this scorecard for your infinite game? –
Which is your meaning or intention – so even if
your actions are thwarted,
This can never be taken from you.^

^It will break out in new actions; you’ll make a new scorecard.
