What is your goal in life?
|
The answer is found in the simple, yet profound, statement by a Vietnamese monk, Thich Naht Hahn: “The path is the goal.” In other words, finding your path in life is your goal in life. Not your job, how much money you make, your title, who you marry, or your successes and failures. People that are looking for that path never get unmotivated, bored, blocked. Looking for that path fuels your inner energy. If you make that path enjoyable, meeting new people, visiting new places, learning new skills, you can feel truly fulfilled all along the way. Now, what are you going to do to achieve your goal in life today?

In the mouse wheel… running but still in the same place. It may be the perverse incentive of maximizing gains by increasing scope and delaying everything… although that’s for another days. Look… In big projects, nobody pays you for your time.They pay you for one thing: Movement. Decisions made.Problems killed.Risks reduced.Money saved....
This is a nice week for me. Birthday and week of great decisions. Decisions on my businesses. Decisions on my investments. Important ones. You see… I feel butterflies in my stomach. Fear. Doubts. So, I know perfectly well that I’m growing. I’m making progress. Look. Matt Gray, someone you should follow on LinkedIn – it’s free and you’ll learn a lot from him – said the other day that your circle establishes your ceiling. Your boss. Your friends. Your business partners. Your colleagues. Etc....
