Your Mission, Your Purpose, & More

Today, I was going to write part two about e-mail marketing but had something more important on my mind. (Don't worry, we'll resume with the second part about email marketing tomorrow.)

I am re-reading a book called "The Way Of The Superior Man" by David Deida. The first time I read it, I agreed with parts of it and disagreed with other parts of it but I didn't do anything about any of it.

As I've said before, knowledge is not power, knowledge is only potential power, action is power. But that's NOT what this post is about. It's about who you are at your core.

On page 5, Deida writes, "You may not know your mission, but unless you discover this deep purpose and live it fully, your life will feel empty at it's core, even if your intimate relationship and family life are full of love."

Think about this: Are you truly living your mission or are you just doing something to make a lot of money? What is your greatest gift you were put on this earth to share with the rest of the world? Are you doing that or are you making decisions based on fear?

On page 20 Deida continues, "Where do your fears stop you from making a larger contribution to mankind, from earning a higher income, or from earning from earning money in a more creative and enjoyable way? If you were absolutely fearless, would you be earning a living exactly the same way you are now?"

Wow. Some deep questions to ponder. I know that I am giving these questions and others like it deep introspection. I recommend that you do the same.
