Efficacy – – Asa Rodriguez

To be truly effective, to bring good change, to deliver with efficacy and integrity in life, one must be loyal to oneself and to one’s purpose; for it is not enough to desire something, because a mere desire is of the ego, thus weak and easily influenced and corrupted, and soon you may get distracted or even lose commitment to that same purpose.

So there has to be a higher level of loyalty and commitment in you in order to create great effectiveness in whatever you do. Many who start a diet and eating healthy, for example, fail and soon return to their unhealthy habits.

And many who truly make an effort to love unconditionally soon collapse and find themselves not truly loving anymore, perhaps struggling to accept another and care for another and even oneself.

Same happens in any aspect of life. You must develop clarity and understanding of the specifics of that purpose, and this will give you balance and strong commitment, which in turn will solidify your desire and transmute it into a burning passion.

But this attitude and commitment to be effective in what you want or desire must also be based on integrity of character, on higher moral values; for higher moral values will keep that passion and commitment burning, for higher moral values are based on your inner joy and well-being and not on outside circumstances which can be outside your control.
