Isn't is kind of amazing that we can choose who we want to be each and every day. I remember when I did stand up comedy, the one thing I really liked about it was I got to choose who I was going to be on stage each time. I could be who ever I wanted, it was fun and it was a great outlet.
One of my favorite quotes is who are you when no one else is around.....I also like the quote that says I want to be the type of person my dog thinks I am. Who are we really?
Many people say they work for a paycheck, but when you dig a little deeper, you'll often hear more personal reasons for waking up and heading to work. Lately I've been thinking a lot about my purpose. What is my personal motivation and what do I really need and want from my job?
Just as organizations use mission statements to guide their actions, we personally should have a personal purpose statement. What "fuels" us? I was talking to a new friend, he's 25 and was talking about his life path.....it got me to thinking. I thought about things I haven't thought about in a long long time. Like what did I think I was going to be when I grew up? What did I want out of life? If I die tomorrow what do I want to be remembered for? What is my legacy?
"To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end in life."
