What came to me in this morning’s meditation is to write about inner integrity—what is it, what does it mean to me, why should I live with inner integrity, and how do I know if I am living with inner integrity? But as I started to write, it became clear that exploring inner integrity also involves exploring feelings and emotions, and clearly understanding the differences between the two…  Continue reading →

So, you’ve got some insight into what the real, deeper you is all about (see blog 6 — Who Are You? Who Am I? for some suggestions about surfacing the real you). And maybe you’ve now got some ideas about what you’re passionate about. And maybe you’ve even got some ideas about how to base a living on that passion. Or maybe you’re not yet sure how to do that.

What I’d like to explore in this blog are some of the ways you could develop an additional income stream based on your passion… Continue reading →

Work, jobs and debt are all on my mind this morning (for a lot of different reasons). Work and jobs are related, but they’re not necessarily related to debt, so let’s explore these this morning and leave debt for a later blog. As always, I welcome your thoughts and ideas on any or all of these topics. How do you view each of them? How have your views made them more or less enjoyable? Did you change your views? If so, how did you do that? Feel free to join the discussion!

What is work and what are jobs, and how are they related? … Continue reading →

5 July 2014: I’ve just added an update to the next-to-last paragraph where I talked about money. You can go directly here for the update, or just reread this entire blog post.

With due respect to The Who, who are you? No, who are you really? There’s the outward manifestation/appearance of you—the you that is seen by acquaintances, store clerks, people on the subway. Then there is the you your colleagues see, the you your close friends see, the you your siblings and cousins see, the you your dad sees, and the perhaps somewhat different you your mom sees.

This outward you is the projection of a constellation of decisions, beliefs, and postulates you’ve adopted from your experiences, your DNA, your heritage, your culture, your country, your religion, your ethnic makeup, … Continue reading →

From time to time, I’ll review and possibly recommend products (and services) from the Internet that support the goals of this site—namely, to help you build a healthy body, mind, and soul, as well as to enhance your life and the living you create. I’ll also identify products that are on my list to try and then review. I’d like your suggestions, too, as to products that you feel meet these overall goals…  Continue reading →

Today, let’s talk about a-ha* moments and “coincidences” and seemingly random events and connections, and what this has to do with you and your passion or your calling. From 1 — Empowering Yourself: Finding Your Passion!:

Why would you want to find your passion? Because when you live your true passion—that driving force that is deep within you—your life flows. Work is no longer work, but rather seems like play. When your work is created from your true passion, you get up in the morning not to go to work but to go play! … Continue reading →

This blog is also going to be about how to create a living from your passion. Maybe you already are. Then share that with us. How do you live your passion? How are you turning it into a living? Are you doing that full-time or is it still part-time? Would you like to make it full-time? How can those of us in this conversation help with that? …  Continue reading →

So, what is your passion, how can you live it, and how can you create a living from it? That’s the purpose of this blog: to explore these ideas as they’ve emerged in my life in the hopes that they might help you. I also encourage you to join in the conversation. What have you discovered about your passion and how has it affected your life? Or, are you still searching? Or, have you not yet begun your search for what truly seeks expression from within you? All are welcome to join in the conversation and to share your experiences, your fears and concerns, and your own personal journeys…  Continue reading →

My purpose in writing this blog is to empower others to find their passion and to live from that passion—to make a life from it and to make a living from it. We’ll spend some time with finding your passion, and I’ll recommend some things I’ve found very helpful. We’ll also spend time on making a living once you’ve found your passion—maybe even more time here because this is becoming increasingly important in a world where the traditional paths of employment no longer work or are as secure…  Continue reading →
