The Leaders Path

A better thought has not been said. Life is too short to be unhappy for a minute. Don't waste your life, your time, on being unhappy. It is up to you to determine your happiness. If you aren't happy in a situation, you can choose to be happy or remove the unhappiness.

As Brooke Shields says, if one window closes, run to the next window. Our life has many windows. We just have to be prepared to run to the next and then the next. Don't just stare out the same window if it's a window to unhappiness. The view will likely be better elsewhere.

What's more, her further statement is even greater. Just break down a door. When you are unhappy, it is sometimes better to knock down the door to get out of one room or to get into the next room. Don't be afraid to be assertive. If the door won't won't open for you, knock it down.

Thank you for listening to Goal Getting Podcast. I am going through some transitions in life. As I do this I started thinking about my original goal for the podcast. The original goal was to provide tips, strategies and inspiration to Goal Getters. I had originally set the podcast up as a weekly edition with then intent of sharing the lessons of my Goal Achievement Success System and to interview expert guests that has achieved success in areas of their life that you Goal Getters might be working on yourself.

I started an experiment in July of last year providing the Goal Getting Quote of the Day. It was well received and I had a lot of you start following me because of that addition. The frequency went from 1 day a week to 7 days a week, with one day being the Weekly lesson, interview.

With my career change in September, which you may remember was a goal I had set and achieved 2 years sooner than I expected, my schedule has gotten busier at work. I took a winter break to start Season 2 which would be longer segments focusing on a quote and a longer lesson to go along with that quote. I wanted to keep the podcast down to less than 20 minutes.

With the new transition and the increased workload at the office and my #WorkOnWellness goal I am committed to, I realize that I must go back to the original plan of the podcast.

I will be reverting back to the original one show per week beginning in May. I will do three days this week and next, I hope. That is my goal for the next two weeks.

I hope you understand and will continue to support Goal Getting Podcast. Let me know what you think.

The thought that life is becoming is true. It never is, it is always becoming. We are ever changing. We go through stages and states in life. We do things and try things, we experience life. Passion drives us in many new areas and many new experiences. When we get to the point where we find a state and decide to stay in that state, that stage, we are in, as Anais Nin says, a kind of death.

My friend Bud, says, Without change there is is no growth. When we don't grow, we become stagnant. We essentially die. Only dead things don't grow.

When people lose their passion for new experiences, new states, new stages their mind starts to atrophy. Do you know people like this. Instead of working to move to the next state, they stay dormant. I know people like that. They are stuck in the past. They don't see the new experiences as a form of growth. They don't see the new experiences as a positive. They want to be what they are or more so what they were at one time.

This is not healthy. Life moves on. Life grows. Experiences change and new friends and feelings form. We all must seek to experience new changes, to keep becoming. If not, we die. If not physically certainly mentally, emotionally, or spiritually.

This is a simple quote. When you are in love or doing what you love, life is beautiful. When we love something, it is beautiful. Whether we love a man, a woman, art, a flower, an pet, a place, whatever we love, it is beautiful. Rumi, the 13th century Persian poet often spoke about love. Here he is talking about how the beauty of what we love should be what we do.

This 13th century idea is about what we call Passion today. When we are passionate about things, we see the great beauty in them. Rumi's wisdom here is that we should be doing what we love. When we are doing what we love, life is beautiful. Life is happy.

I keep mentioning the sign I saw on Facebook, but it resonated so deeply with me that I keep thinking about it.

If you think about something day in and day out, every waking moment - and it makes you happy. You should be doing that.

I believe Rumi would think the same. When you think about something day in and day out, every waking minute, you are in love with it. It is beautiful to you. It is your mind's focus. If it makes you happy, you should be doing that.

Love what you do. If it is a career, love what you do. I heard someone say recently, No job pays enough to suck! Same thing simplified.

Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life.

I'm just full of these one liner quotes in this episode about passion in your work. I am big on passion these days. I believe we have to have passion for what we do, who we are with and in living a passionate life. Live life to it's fullest.

Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping… waiting… and though unwanted… unbidden… it will stir… open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us… guides us… passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have?”

Man, I love this quote about passion. I am going to take it, print it and put it on my wall. Josh Whedon is a great director and screenwriter. He is a quote master as well when it comes to passion. In his line of work, it takes passion to succeed. It takes passion to create and bring a movie to market.

I think Josh is correct. We all have Passion. It is within us all as we grow. Children have passion. Too often it is stifled as we grow. But at some time, for most of us it will stir. It will open it's jaws and howl as Josh says.

Passion when we pay attention to it speaks to us, it does guide us, it does rule us all, and we must obey it when it rises within us. What choice do we have?

If we don't obey it will drive us crazy, it will fill us with stress and longing. You must obey when passion comes to call. You must use that passion to take on your challenges each day.

Take passion and use it for yourself and for others. You are the champion of passion if we obey.

.

Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. - What the world needs is more people with passion that act on that passion and come alive to succeed.

Howard Thurman has probably heard the same thing I have heard. Ask yourself what the world needs and you will be successful. He doesn't necessarily agree with this. Why? Because if you just try to do what others want, you will eventually not be willing to do it any longer. As soon as the joy runs out, as soon as you stop believing that the world is right about what they want or as soon as you stop believing in the same thing, you will quit. You will not have the passion it takes to keep that goal alive.

What Thurman is saying is to ask yourself what makes you come alive. What is your passion. Passion makes us come alive. It makes us get excited about things. When you find your passion, what it is that makes you come alive, then go and do that.

It reminds me of a sign I saw recently on Facebook - If you think about something day in and day out, with every waking moment, and it makes you happy, You should be doing that!

That's the same thought that Thurman has here. Don't worry about what everyone else wants or needs. Think about what makes you come alive! What makes you happy. Then go out and do that.

The world needs more people that have come alive. People that have come alive with a passion for something they believe in will do what it takes to succeed.
