Key Take Outs
- Passion attracts people. If you have passion and your express that passion you will find the energy you create is contagious. Passion gives you the ability to continue to do the work and thrive.
- Prepare yourself. “Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.” While you may not know exactly what to expect by preparing yourself you can certainly minimise risk and better deal with obstacles and changing circumstances as they arise.
- Do the work and you can live your dreams. It is possible to follow your passions or become passionate about life and really live the life you desire but it does not come easily. Nothing does in life. But if you are really passionate about what you do you will be more greatly motivated to do the work necessary that creates the success in life that you desire. I believe that without the passion it is hard to do the work and the work is necessary.
- Find your story. Dreams, values and needs. Connect with your dreams, understand what is important to you in regards to your core values, and know your true needs. We often believe our needs to be much greater than they are and this can force us to do things and take us in the wrong direction in life. If you see that your needs are already meet you will reduce stress and suffering in life and the pursuit will become more satisfying.
