Not where am I, but where am I going. This look on my face is pure joy as I land this 22.5 inch Walleye a few weeks back at the Lake of the Woods”¦Where am I going? In this case”¦nowhere. I was incredibly present.
It’s a great question”¦.Can you answer it clearly and succinctly? That is the question! The question everyone eventually wants/needs to know.
There are other questions that Susan Scott has for you from her book Fierce Conversations“¦
- Why am I going there?
- Who is going with me?
- How am I going to get there?
- Am I realizing my full potential?
- Am I fully extended in my capabilities?
- Is there value and fulfillment in my work today?
In my judgement all of these questions are a derivative of what you want. The most brilliant minds ask me every day how to get what they want. Today”¦start with Where am I going? It could be the jump start you need to live a purpose filled life.
My purpose in life is to serve others. Wake them up to a new way of “being”. That includes my family, friends, clients, special interests, people in general etc. I have a plan on how to do that. But I can tell you the main person I must serve is me. Because if I don’t get balance I will not be able to show up for those I serve.
So where are you going?
I am awake now, you played a role in me planning just where I am going from this day forward!
I’m moving forward doing what I love to do. Working with people in business and everyday life. I love people! Working them thru personal issues to get them where they need to be in life. This also works with folks in their day to day vehicle issues. No matter if its replacing their vehicle or just getting the right map to repairing their ride with the right people. I’ve always believed it’s people first ,everything else is second. Being right with myself is always key before working with others . There of course are days when personal issues will come up. I’ve found dealing with the issue with a trusted friend and doing it timely is also key to moving forward in a positive manner. When I read the cover of A Purpose Driven Life, I opened to the back cover and wrote it down, then moved forward with the 12 week course. At the end of the course I found I was correct. Working with others with addictions as well as what we call normal folk who have issues with no idea where to go or what to do with the issues. Thanks for the jump start brother!
