Key Take Outs

“This pain drives you.”

·      Evolution Baby. We all evolve into the characters we become and the most rapid evolution occur with action and exploration.

·      Try things. Try many things until you can connect all the dots, combine all the passions into doing something that will bring you greater purpose.

·      Helping people. For anyone this freedom we have to help others really leaves us with a higher sense of purpose and greater level of happiness. In whatever you do try make it so that it helps others.

·      Focus on service and don’t under deliver. How you serve in your current roles will be remembered and certainly reflect on how you will serve in other roles. Try always over delivering, as this will not be forgotten, it will leave you with more options, and most likely make you feel better.

·      Work backwards. Try seeing the bigger vision of your life and than in efforts in creating that lifestyle work backwards. Solve your own lifestyle design problem, you will find away in whatever you do. This is not just suitable for the Jairek Robbins of the world.

·      Hustle. You can quit what you are doing to follow your passion or you can do it on the side but for whichever way you precede you must hustle. The journey at the beginning is a journey of hustle, the more hustle the faster the journey.

·      Find joy in what you do. You may not enjoy all that you do but you can certainly find joy in everything you do. Listen to audio, try making the task a competition, see how you can do the task that will provide greater benefits for you.

·      Inspiration vs. desperation. If not now then when? For everyone comes a time where the reach a point in which they can not take no more. Either through inspiration or more commonly desperations to we need to make change to live with more purpose and do everything with a greater reason. When you hit this point to be complacent of give up, chase it.

·      Pain and Pleasure. Use pain to drive you forward to make change in life and use and find pleasure to help keep you going in everything it is you do.

·      Reflection and perspective. Sometimes when things aren’t feeling right the best thing to do is reflect and ask questions. This will allow you to gain another perspective and greater insight as to why and what it all means. From there you will have greater insight and direction to travel forward.

Quote

“Learn it, live it, give it!”

What does living life with passion and purpose mean?

Passion is finding stuff that you care about more than yourself, and purpose is delivering service to others beyond you.

When you find a reason to fit for that is bigger than you, and a community to serve that’s more than just yourself, you will feel remarkable.
