The sad reality of “survival” mode is that we have to focus on earning a living instead of chasing our passion.

If you do that for too long  you become miserable.

Make that “leap of faith” too soon or without a plan and you become what experts call “broke”

That’s why its easier to do what many people do . . . NOTHING!

The problem with “NOTHING” is that it’s a silent killer and it forces us to simply

Exist!

A few years ago, I decided to give myself a very simple gift . . .

It didn’t require money but it did require . . .

Creating a time (daily) to think about my life. If you are one of those folks who claims to not have enough time to think . . . think again! Use your drive time, get up earlier, stay up later but make no mistake . . . this seat of your pants crap is killing you!

Respecting I decided to give myself the same respect that I give others when I make appointments and not break these appointments with myself.

Asking Better questions of myself such as “In what ways can I do the things I’m passionate about?”

Commitment To 1 Action Item Per Day Truth be told, I actually committed to 5 actions per day towards making my passion my paycheck but that scares the hell out of a lot of people but . . . don’t dismiss the power of 1 action a day/5 days per week. That’s still 200 actions a year with 2 weeks vacation! It’s also 200 actions more than the majority of the population!

So let’s be clear on a few things . . .

Today isn’t about being irresponsible and preparing the “take this job and shove it” speech for your boss . . .

It’s about revisiting that which you are passionate about . . .

And beginning the process of singing the song that’s buried in your soul!

Make no mistake . . . that’s the song that will make the difference!
