What should I do with
my life?

A calling is not something you know. It’s something
you grow into, through trials and mistakes. Work shouldn’t just be fun. Work should
be like life – sometimes fun, sometimes moving and defined by meaningful
events. Attack your fears rather than shy away from them. Bring what you do in
alignment with who you are. Freedom is the confidence that you can live within
the means of something you are passionate about. Failure’s hard, but success at
the wrong thing can lock you forever. Don’t be seduced by artificial love. Be open
to defining experiences. Don’t mistake intensity for passion. You don’t find
your purpose above the neck, you find it below the neck, when you are
transformed by what you have witnessed. You can get good at what you need to
serve, what you believe in. get your mind 80% of the way there, then go looking
for the catalyst. Look backward as much as forward, inward as much as outward. Nothing
helps like knowing you are not alone. There’s a powerful transformative effect
when you surround yourself with like minded people. Create an environment where
the truth is invited into your life. If you develop the character, the odds are
pretty good you can succeed. Success is defined as when you are no longer held
back by your heart, your character blossoms and the gifts you have to offer to
the world are apparent. Don’t cling to a single scenario, allow yourself many
paths to the same destination. Give it a lifetime to pay off. Things you work
hardest for are the things you treasure the most.
