Whether you are a recent graduate just starting your search for more meaning in your life, or maybe you have realized that what you are doing is not what you want for the remainder of your life, or perhaps you have you reached the later stage of life and know there is more to do. Whatever stage you are in, I dare you to find your passion and live the life of your dreams!

Like Stephen Covey’s eighth habit states, "Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs." Voice is Covey's code for "unique personal significance." After you find your voice, you will inspire others to find theirs because your countenance will be contagious. Covey told us we need leaders now, and for the future!

I dare you to take this challenge: write a list of what you are expecting right now. You might be amazed at how what you are expecting is often not what you are receiving.

Next, listen to your self-talk. You may be surprised that you are receiving what you continually tell yourself! It is all connected – body, mind, and spirit.

When you know what you want, change your thoughts. You will speak with encouragement to yourself and others. We tend to make this much more complicated than it needs to be. I caution you: do not do this exercise if you do not want to change.

Recently, I heard about a new cereal to be eaten before going to sleep. What if you counted your blessings before you went to sleep?

God loves us so much; he gives us what we desire - the drum to which we beat. What do you want to be known as? I encourage you to continually raise your thoughts -know what you want and focus on that. My first mentor, Norman Vincent Peale, told the world repeatedly in his presentations, books, and his recordings about the power of positive thinking! The results will be enjoyment of a wonderful, exciting, and fun life! 

Things to think about: are you sharing, caring, and daring?  Are you expansive? Are you setting up systems to automate many of your tasks? Are you creating collaborative partnerships to make your life easier? Do you want to?

This is not an easy assignment; it is much easier to keep doing what you have always done than to venture into this new territory. Consider hiring an expert to assist in your transition.
