Robert Allen - think about these four

I have this book on CD and it is AMAZING!  There is SO much to inspire me.  Today, I was listening it and he talked about life's purpose.  When you have an hour, he HIGHLY recommends doing this exercise.

He recommends you get a sheet of paper and split it in four.  On each of the four corners, he recommends writing: 1. What do I love to do? 2. What am I good at? 3. What is important to me? 4. What was I BORN to do?

Underneath each of the four categories, write your top seven answers.  Rank them all in order of importance to you (there is no right and wrong, just your way).  With this information, it's time to write a purpose statement.  If you can, boil it down to one sentence and read that sentence multiple times a day.  This will help you keep on track and make decisions based on your purpose.

You are AWESOME!

Empowerment

I just had an experience tonight that just helped me be inspired and reminded me again of my goals and dreams.

My husband's boss called me on the phone.  He has been trying to convince my husband to work another day of the week.  My husband works another job (which I know of to stand for Just Over Broke) where he is more free and gets residual income on his days off from his full-time job and we see a lot more potential in this job he only works 6 days a month - not now but in the future.

First, his boss tried to sugar-coat the whole thing by talking about the opportunity for leadership and money.  I told him basically that I care about my husband's happiness and time more than I care about the money.  He's been bugging my husband for months, but he backed down from me within a few minutes.

Not only do I feel closer to my dreams, but it improved my marriage.  My husband loves when I support he and his dreams.
