I am amazed at the number and status of the people who have looked into my eyes and have almost pled, “what am I supposed to do with my life?” Some of these have been highly accomplished, powerful and wealthy people who seem to have everything in life. Others have been destitute of hope because of harsh trials and a lack of belief in themselves. Both groups of people are just as important. They are our brothers and sisters. The most important question is, are they, are we, humble enough to take the right steps?
I wrote the workbook Journey To Your Potential because I can’t think of anything more important than someone taking the time to not just “jump into life” and either waste or sub- optimize their life’s journey, but to thoughtfully think things through. This isn’t rocket science. I attempted to frame up the right way to think about life, and then to help you through a process of asking yourself thought-provoking questions. It is honest and authentic. The real question we should ask ourselves is, “am I focused as I should be?”
Today we are swamped with broken philosophies that cloud the right questions we should be asking ourselves. We watch too many movies and love the climatic moment and excites our emotion – and all wrongs are righted once and for all. This isn’t life. This isn’t real. Life isn’t an event, there isn’t just one defining moment, it is a journey. Life can be a wonderful journey. We make mistakes. We make poor decisions – but it helps to see, or even re-envision, our potential, to make right decisions, and to strive to move in a direction that you know and feel in your heart is right. We will have our ups and downs – and again it helps to have the right vision -even if things seem really dark at times.
One of the most important points in this book focuses on noble passions. Nothing, absolutely nothing, seems more important to me than this.
