Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you find useful information and tips to grow as a person and to build your business. I have always been a person that has done what everyone else has told me to do so for me to venture in starting my own business was a shock to a lot of people but I knew I could do it. One of my favorite movies is “The Pursuit of Happiness” with Will Smith. This is an inspirational story of a man who, through a series of events, loses his wife, his house and yet he’s committed to his son and refuses to give up. He has one shot for a position in a stockbroker internship program. Against all odds, he never loses focus of his goal and in the end he overcomes all obstacles and “his ship comes in.”
This movie showed me that we are in control of our destiny. If I’m not happy with my life then it is up to me to change it. The road to happiness can sometimes feel like an experience of trial and error but it is worth the sacrifice in order to find the inner peace of true happiness. I believe we all have a purpose while on this earth and it’s up to us to find what that purpose is.
When you don’t choose your own purpose, a purpose will be given to you by others. You give up your freedom. Sure you still maintain the illusion of freedom. You can decide the low level actions you take each day. But you’ve lost the greatest freedom — the ability to choose your own answer to the question, “What is the meaning of my life?” If you let someone else answer this question for you, then you’re owned. And it may not even be a single person giving you that answer. Most likely it’s a collection of many sources: advertisers, employers, coworkers, friends, family, social pressures, etc. Each contributes a small piece to your answer. But because there are so many contributors, the answer that comes out is fuzzy and complicated. So you end up living a fuzzy, complicated life crafted by third-party biographers, many of which you’ve never met.
On the other hand, when you know your purpose and live it consciously each day, you’re free. No one else owns you. Whether you run your own business or work for someone else, you always see yourself as self-employed. You lead your own life, and although others may hold formal authority over you in some situations, you focus on what you can control and don’t whine about what you can’t, and in so doing, your influence expands to the point that you become a leader no matter what your formal position. Your leadership comes from knowing your purpose. While your circumstances will change, your inner compass is constant. You could be caught in a sea of external chaos, yet you’re always steering a clear straight-ahead course, which allows you to feel certain when no one else can. It doesn’t matter what position you hold. When you live your purpose, you become a leader. When you don’t live your purpose, you become property. My wish is that everyone finds their purpose and lives the life they were meant to live. I hope my blog offers hope and possibilities for your future, whatever those goals may be. Please feel free to leave a comment or send me a message. I look forward to hearing from you. God Bless.
