Prosper on Purpose
There is a singular skill, which if you possess it, is the most definitive predictor of success in any component of a human life. Whether we speak of success in business, success in work, success in relationships, or simply success defined as a satisfied and well-lived life, this one element is the key driver towards achievement in any area.
What is this magical skill, potent elixir, million-dollar idea?
When you look around the spaces where you live and work, who and what do you see? Is it time to step off of the excess express and out of your life as a pro-crap-in-ator and embark upon a clutter-busting journey? As winter approaches and daylight becomes scarce, our inside environments take on additional significance.
Albert Einstein said, “there are two ways to live your life. One is though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
Treating others fairly is a trait most of us aspire to and admire. To badly paraphrase Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., all of us want to judge our fellow humans by the depth of their character. Yet psychologists, through numerous studies, find that virtually all of us exhibit a form of cognitive dissonance known as the “halo effect.”
A quote to ponder:
“We must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.”
Indira Gandhi
Ask anyone how long they think they will live. In most cases, you will get an answer. And the answer will generally be a very specific number. Sometimes this is based on a desire, or a family history, but somehow, imprinted in all of our brains, is a mortality timeframe.
Honor your word. If you make a promise, keep it. Look someone in the eye, shake his or her hand, and then stick with the deal you made.
This is a philosophy instilled in many of us from childhood. Keep your promises. Be true to your word. But what happens to this principle in the world of the entrepreneur?
SEASON’S GREETINGS
As December continues, our communities, workplaces, and perhaps even our families buzz with energy. Radio stations switch to all-holiday music formats. The Muppets sing Christmas carols on TV. Bell ringers appear outside grocery stores and in the malls.
Halloween 2012 has come and gone. What mask are you still wearing?
Very often, we don’t allow others to see our true or authentic self. Instead, we choose to create façades behind which we feel safe, comfortable, powerful, or even sane. And, many of us have multiple costumes in which we ensconce ourselves. We can have a “self” for work, for home, for our friends, for our church or spiritual home, for what ever.
Concerned that an event, such as a health issue, natural disaster, job loss or relationship problem might wipe out your nest-egg?
Has a loved-one made your their Power of Attorney & you are unsure what steps to take?
