After interviewing hundreds of young people, Mike Snyder recognized a repeating pattern, many people don't know what to do with their lives and they don't have a formula to figure it out.  In this episode, Mike shares part of a universal formula to find your purpose in life.   Mike served in the Marines for 24 years and is currently a strategic marketing consultant, speaker, and author.  You can reach Mike on Linkedin.

Some highlights Mike shares:

• Finding a "process driver" approach to universal formulas
• We need a source of values to find success in the world
• Values are what define you
• What is the source of your values?
• Finding the answer to two questions:  who are you? and what do you do?
• Luck = preparation + opportunity
• You have to do something (unless you want to be a mushroom)
• Follow your intuition - learn to listen - the answers will come to your head and your heart
• Life gives pushback - here are some strategies to handle pain and failure
• Anger and resentment cause illness
• Gratitude is an antidote for anger
• Coming to grips with idealism - the world isn't working the way I think it should
• We are what we think about all day
• Humans like to complicate things - if it's more difficult it seems more credible
• Don't make simple things complicated
• A synopsis of the universal formula:  Who you are (personal transformation); Listen to your head and heart; Do (take action); Prepare (invest in yourself); Use gratitude to get through pain and suffering
• Don't give up - you can do it
