I was watching Tom Cruise's The Last Samurai the other day and actually managed to glean something valuable from it...besides that constant conviction that comes with watching a movie portraying the self-discipline of Asian cultures. As Tom Cruise's character lives among a group of Samurai and their families, he makes this observation:
"Every morning they wake and seek the perfection of whatever it is they do."
Wow. What if someone could say that about my life? That I wake up every morning with a clear purpose in mind, a plan to follow, and a passion about that plan that fuels my every step. It begged the question: what IS that thing I "do"? If I sought to pursue it with such passion, what would I be pursuing?
As a Christian, the first thing that comes to mind is my relationship with Christ and a dedication to become more like Him. I should be waking up every morning and seeking "perfection" in becoming more like Christ. Even though that is not completely attainable this side of the heavens, it's definitely a good purpose to begin every day with.
