Commit to Lifelong Learning
Success in life and the attainment of your career calling require you to
behave and act in accordance with your authentic self, that is, your
true
identity.
You have learned that incredibly, you can alter and control your
own internal identity, which is a mirror of your belief systems and associations
to events that have occurred throughout your life.
Your true identity should be unique and compelling and through your career
calling, you should aspire to contribute your gifts to others for the betterment
of society.
Seek out quality mentors and strive to become a quality mentor for others.
Be a person others seek out for guidance and wisdom regarding mastering
this increasingly complex and confusing game called life.
Be unconventional; that is, do not follow the path of least resistance or
follow the crowd but rather carve out your own niche, your own special
place in society. Work hard to rid yourself of fear, uncertainty, and doubt
that restrict your progress and erode your confidence and self-esteem. Tap
into that inner reservoir of talent, creativity, and contribution to solve problems
and challenges of others. Create new systems, inspire your peers, develop
new solutions, and invent new products and services that enrich lives.
Every day is an opportunity to further your purpose and enhance your
passion. Be mindful of the 5 P’s (passion, purpose, power, profit, and peace
of mind), which are essential to achieving true balance and happiness.
Here are my suggestions for lifelong learning and living the
life of your dreams:
See the Bigger Picture:
In the scheme of time, we are all here for but a brief moment. That does not mean we cannot
strive to become significant. Come to grips with your place on earth, in your community, in your
family, in your employment and in your own heart. Avoid the limiting beliefs of others who have
fallen prey to the trappings of materialism or other external reward systems. Serve a higher
power, whatever that higher power is for you. Push your own boundaries and you will find that
you have a gift for others to expand their own horizons as well.
