In Service Of Your Passions?

"You can view (running a business) as not just a job but as an honorable livelihood where you can, by using your imagination, develop the human spirit."~ Anita Roddick

How do you view what you do for business? Is it just a way to "pay the bills?" Is it just something that you fell into and stayed there? Is it what someone else  told you that you would be good at so you did it? Or do you view it as a way to "develop the human spirit?" What a great way to look at the work that you do. Keep on developing the human spirit.

Sir Richard Steele said "People spend their lives in the service of their passions instead of employing their passions in the service of their lives." Think about that...spending your life in service to your passions as opposed to employing those passion in the service of others. In any business, if you are not serving your customers, they won't be staying around. 

What is your passion and how do you use it in the service of others?

Do You Have Clarity Of Mind?

“Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves." ~Blaise Pascal

Do you have clarity of mind? Really? Most people don't and that is their biggest challenge to getting the things they want. They aren't clear on what they really want. They say I want this or I want that and never become CRYSTAL CLEAR on what it is that they truly want. Most people say that "they want to be rich."  What does that mean??  That's not crystal clear, that's feel good mumbo jumbo.  A lot of business owners say "I want to do better than last year."  By how much?  Even making $1 more would be "better than last year."  Take some time right now and think if you are Crystal Clear on what you want, because without it, you're just wasting your time.

Do you have clarity of passion? If you don't have clarity of the mind, you can't have clarity of passion. You can have passion but if it isn't clear, it isn't as white hot as it can be. Most people have some passion and they may even say it's real strong passion but imagine your passion 10 times stronger, 20 times stronger. That is what will happen when you have clarity of passion.

Work on having Clarity of Mind and Clarity of Passion today and let me know how it went and how different you felt.

Reconnect

"Life without dreams is no life at all. When our existence gets reduced to a list of problems to solve or things to check off, passion dries up. Imagine a different list, one comprised of projects and activities that are the expression of your heart and soul. Reconnect to what makes you happy. Do you know what that is?"~Marcia Wieder

Do YOU have a life? A life of dreams to be pursued and attained? Has your passion for life dried up because of your list of things to be done, checked off, finished? Has your passion for life dried up because of WORK?

This week, reconnect with what makes you happy. What gets you going, what really excites you. It's ok to let your list go for a day, those problems and challenges will still be there when you get back to them. But for right now, let them go...and have fun today! It's ok. Sometimes we feel like we need to ask for permission to have fun... well, I give you permission to have fun. TODAY!

Create a new list, a list with all the things that you REALLY want to do. Work equally on both lists, but for today, concentrate on your new list, the one with all the things that you really want to do. Maybe it's your "Bucket List."

Reconnect with what makes you happy. Do you know what that is? Find out if you don't know and then just do it. We were created to live a life of abundance and joy and if you are missing these things, then you are cheating yourself. Remember, I gave you permission!

Just Getting Started

"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning."~Louis L'Amour

Wow, how many times has that happened to you? Just when you think that you've done everything, you realize that there is so much more to do...What happens then? Do you continue on "doing it" or do you quit? Once the initial passion wears off, can you keep going?

Most people fly out of the gates on a new project but hit a wall when the excitement and enthusiasm starts to ebb. Is that you? Can you relate? Are you a starter or a finisher?

Starters usually need someone to help them finish, while finishers usually need someone to get them going. Where do you fit in? There are a few people who both start and finish and they are the ones we call "successful."

It's usually easier to be a starter than a finisher. A finisher needs to have the ability to work through long stretches of drudgery and do the work that needs to be done, but isn't as fun.

Here's the key: Figure out which one you are and align yourself with someone who has the opposite talent. Or find a group of people who can help you do the part where you struggle.
