Nisus
A friend sent me a text today with the definition of a word new to me. Nisus: A mental or physical effort to attain a specific goal; a striving.
While the word had eluded my notice until today, the concept is not new to me. Good things come to us more easily and readily when we’re mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually aligned with them.
When we invested focus and effort toward our dreams and remove any personal roadblocks to them, they manifest more naturally. In other words, we need to get out of our own way and keep our eye on the prize.
Today’s message—thank you friend— reminds me to keep my energy and attention devoted to what I want to see in my life. When I’m clear on what I want and what I’m willing to invest to get it, I’ll see it happen more easily.
Please reflect and share. What does the concept of nisus evoke in you?
