There is no path in the jungle, you have to make your own ~ Yudhishtara

When I think about my favorite leaders online, they all have one thing in common:

They inspire me, they make me smile inside, and they totally ROCK HARD — 100%. (OK, that’s 3 things.)

They’re also changing the world with a big heart, and they’re damn good at what they do. That means they’re working for — and accomplishing — something bigger than themselves.

I think I may have come close to finding that (and started flowing with it finally with my passion-maker life purpose test). It kind of feels like jumping in the seat of a Disneyland ride, or a big-ass roller coaster: When the doors slam shut and you’re buckled in, you’re taking off and you know its on. You’re in for a crazy ride. Nothing to do but hold on tight, enjoy the ride, and scream loud as hell…

But time will tell: Finding your life purpose is one thing; going out to kick ass on a daily basis in alignment with your purpose is another monster altogether.

Each one of these absolutely brilliant, big-hearted and beautiful people offers so much knowledge, power and heart it hurts…! Continue Reading →
