What you should be doing TODAY!

What would you do to live your dream? What would you sacrifice? What would you give up? Would you give up time with your family? Would you give up money? Would you travel by trains, planes and automobiles to learn?


As I sit here in a coffee shop in New York City, that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm traveling all over the country learning as much as I can to be the best me I can be. I and my very supportive family is investing in me. Do you have anyone in your life that believes in you when you don't believe in yourself?



I spent time with a friend yesterday at the Bay in Long Island and she and I waded out in the water and picked up hermit crabs. There were tons of children gathered around and before long, they were gathered around her as she showed them the "big crabs with the fancy shells". It took no imagination at all to see that she has a gift a true gift with children. Her own son benefits from her obvious talent and when I suggested she share her gift and be a teacher, she said "there are no jobs". It made my heart hurt for her.


Passion only has one way to communicate with us, it's called Talent. Talent is your spirit's way of shedding light on your passion and desire.


Too often we get caught up in our internal dialogue of why we should do something, how we should behave, who we should be, what we should want and where we should find our happiness. You can spend a lifetime of "should-ing" all over yourself.


Steve Jobs said,
“When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: 'If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.' It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”

If money were no object, and you knew you could not fail, what would you do? When are you limitless?  When does time fall away?  Who would you become?   When would NOW be a good time?
