Nothing substantial but something spectacular!
I know that I am on the wrong path in life but I don’t know how I’m supposed to find the right one? This morning i overlooked a congregation of speakers near the beach, where they put up tent and food stuff to invite revelers. One of the speakers at this conference was a Hindu monk who dedicated years to meditation. He seems to have deep insight into the human condition. Heck, I could almost feel his presence in the area. Another speaker was a business tycoon. Fair to say he knows more about the world of business and commerce than anyone I’ve met.
Separately, I told the monk and the billionaire, I’m lost right now. I’m modestly successful, but it feels wrong. How do I find my path? I assumed that both folks would offer, i mean they had to offer... very different answers? To my shock, they gave nearly identical suggestions. It felt like I discovered the secret to that thing called 'path'.
Hey i wrote this down on notepad right there:
- Spend time, getting to know yourself and use open-ended questions to search deep within yourself. For example, how would your life change if you suddenly inherited $100,000,000 dollars? What would you do if you only had six months left to live? What do you want your life to be like when you’re 60+?
Personally, I like sales, so I described at least the profession I wanted in words. Minus the mba, minus the student loan, it should involve growing my dry fruits business, vacation near beach destination, giving back to the homeless and build a thriving social circle, if all those sound reasonably good?
So the billionaire suggest that Lara focus on four cycles,
the idea --> the action --> a team --> belief system --> materialization of that idea!
If I want to become a rock star, perhaps I begin by researching different instruments. Then, I buy a guitar. Next, you learn how to play it. After that, I make a few musician friends, so its been like that so far. The important part is to have each step lead to the next. No sideways or reverse.
Along with other attendants out there, both the monk and the billionaire found success following this path. The pony tailed guy claimed (and seemed) to be content. He felt he was on the path to enlightenment. The billionaire claimed (and seemed) to be happy and felt like the world was his oyster. So i am very much on the right track, these people today just reminded me about that.
