Our average life expectancy is 78 years, or 28, 470 days. To fail only 100 times in search of our purpose is trivial. To give up is criminal. You deserve better. Keep going. I did. And you can too.

don't over-complicate what you're here to do

There is one way, guaranteed, to find your life’s purpose? Yes! Never quit looking.

Search tirelessly until you’ve found it. Write it down on a piece of paper and keep rewriting it until you’ve written it in such a way it makes you cry.

technology is a huge fear also - pushing the wrong button, etc

Death is the number two activity humans fear, right behind the fear of public speaking. You see, we fear public speaking (and death) because after our speech (or our life), we may realize we were incorrect in our beliefs.

I promise to help you think, smile, and feel grateful...the rest is up to you

The main reason courage is never fully developed in most people? This is so painfully obvious and we are in complete denial it even exists. Drum roll please….

….fear.

PS. Remember, I’m trying to get you to think, smile, and feel grateful, even if it hurts. What you do with the way you process your thoughts is your responsibility What’s at stake is another day of mediocrity or the pursuit of excellence.

just because others don't believe this shouldn't stop me from doing so with all my heart

Fear. It stops us from doing what we think would be a good idea. And our good idea comes from a dream we have to approach a challenge that desperately needs a fresh, common sense solution.

Can you blame me for writing five daily, differently-themed blogs about work life balance?

what is it that we are afraid of discovering about ourselves?

The unexamined life is not worth living. – Socrates

I know this sounds harsh. It is, really. Socrates said it as he was being sentenced to death – he was on trial for heresy, for encouraging his students to challenge accepted beliefs.

The really harsh part? Actually, well, the harsh part is that it was true then and is still today. The question then is, “What are we going to do about it”

we cry out for business to be fair but it never will be

Jeremy Camp’s We Cry Out show was inspiring, fun, and thought-provoking. But nothing is ever exactly as it appears. In business, in the church, in our hearts. Yet, we ignorantly hope for business (and life) to be fair.

When we cry out at work, there’s not much sympathy. That’s the cool part about balancing our work place with a spiritual place. They are often dramatically different, yet we desperately need them both.
