What are you going to do with your life?

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

What are you going to do with you life?
Do you know where you’re headed?
Or what you’re about?
Or who you are?

How many time have you asked yourself these questions?  How many times have you actually sat down and started to figure them out, given them the time they deserve?  It is easy to get sucked up in daily routine and BOOM, all of a sudden, three months have passed and then six months and then a year.  The good news is it’s never too late (or too early) to create a plan for the rest of your life. - Anthony Zolezzi and Kory Swanson, Do Something: Leave Your Mark on the World.

Belief System

Monday, August 18th, 2008

If you’re acting from a coherent belief system, people should see consistency in your actions and learn to value you accordingly.  And although they don’t know why you do what you do, they will interpret your actions as a projection of a consistent belief and value system, and credit you in that context. -David McNally, Be Your Own Brand: A Breakthrough Formula for Standing Out from the Crowd

Start Right Now

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Start right now
take a small step you can call your own
don’t follow someone else’s heroics,
be humble and focused,
start close in,
don’t mistake that other for your own.
- David Whyte, excerpted from the poem, “Start Close In,” from River Flow: New and Selected Poems

The Soul of Money

Monday, August 4th, 2008

“Rarely in our life is money a place of genuine freedom, joy, or clarity, yet we routinely allow it to dictate the terms of our lives…(determining) our relationship with money can be an invitation to confront our challenges, fears, addiction and attachment, remorse and regret and hurts around money, and to embrace all of it as an arena for personal growth and transformation.”
Excerpted from “The Soul of Money” by Lynne Twist
