When I was growing up I so badly wanted to fit in. I didn’t want to stand out or be different. I sought to be just like the cool kids.
The only problem was, I wasn’t.

“The secret to not flaking out on your friends and family while still pursuing a dream is going to work before your world wakes up — that’s what I’ve found, anyway.” – Andy Traub
Do you have something that you love to do, something that you would do for free if you had the money to pay your bills and take care of your other responsibilities?
I love blogging. For me, there is nothing else like it. Writing and connecting with other people are things that I can do all day for days at a time.
But I also have a family and a day job. I have responsibilities that are very important.
We all do.
If you are like me and you are pursing your passion, I’m sure you have had to deal with the tension of doing what you love and also being responsible in the other areas of your life.

There’s just something different about the companies we know and love.
But what is it exactly?
What are they doing that gets us to entranced that we read every word they say and hang waiting for more from them?
And what about the companies we hate doing business with? What are they missing?
There is something there and today I’m going to take a stance on something I feel we need to do in order to move in that direction.

It’s the age-old question…
What is my purpose? or Why am I here?
I believe there is a pretty simple answer to that at the core. The interesting part comes when we get away from the core and try to figure out our daily lives.
Now that we have a clean, fresh and new mindset as well as a few actionable items, it’s time to explore the heart of this series.
For the next few posts, we will go over 3 areas that are core to everything we do.
They are your career, your purpose and your dream. Only when they are all working together will you truly have passion for your work in this world.
The burden of thinking beyond today or tomorrow is often overbearing. It’s something that is impressed upon me constantly. I say that because that’s what God has willed upon me.
I have always thought of doing something awesome. Something that would would change the world. That would help me make a mark and contribute to this society I live in.
For me, the lack of contribution to moving forward is ridiculous. Too many never attempt to fulfill their God-given purpose and/or don’t understand the impact they could have on this world. I am not one of those people. If you are, I don’t condemn you for it, I just hope you will see the potential you have been freely given.
