Most people work to survive; they work to meet their basic living needs (in today's world, this is in itself a great achievement).
Some people get beyond survival, and are able to save. These people have gone past their basic needs, and are able to expand and improve their lives.
And some people get beyond just saving, and they serve. They are able to not just improve their own lives, they make a contribution to the world they live in.
If I keep my focus on the highest reason for working
then whatever job I have will be rewarding.
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
