When I was growing up, my father, translating a Sanskrit saying, shared something with me that I will never forget. He said, Son, when you were born, you cried while the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a way that when you die the world cries while you rejoice. We live in an age when we have forgotten what life is all about. We can easily put a person on the moon, yet we have trouble walking across the street to meet a new neighbor. We have technology to help us stay connected, yet in many ways we have never been less connected in the history of humankind. We know more than ever, yet we also know less, about what it means to be truly greatas a human being.

Purpose is the most powerful motivator in the world. The secret of passion truly is purpose.

Success cannot be pursued; success ensues. It flows as the unintended byproduct of efforts concentrated in the direction of a worthy cause.

The word duty is often viewed negatively in our culture. Many people dont like the idea of it, feeling that duty would restrict them and hinder them from living in the moment. To me, the word duty represents freedom and happiness. And leadership and authentic success is about doing whats right rather than whats easy.

Once you connect with some kind of higher purpose in your life, there will be a corresponding release of passion and energy. The secret of generating extraordinary levels of passion in your life is to discover your larger purpose. Once you find your calling, you get excited. And you begin to stand for something higher than yourself.

Look at people who discovered a cause that they gave their lives over to, people such as Benjamin Franklin, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Albert Einstein and Nelson mandela. They connected with some kind of a crusade that they decided their lives would represent. This engaged their hearts. This made them emotionally charged up about what they were doing. And once you can develop some emotional engagement around a pursuit, rather than simply an intellectual engagement, the excitement flows and the energy explodes.

January 7

Connect to a compelling cause with your heart, not your head. And then fasten your seatbelt because your life will soar. The mind can be a limiter. The emotions are the liberator.

January 8

You can find your causeyour crusadeexactly where you are. No one has to leave a job to find something to engage their heart and excite them. Often all that is required is that a person see things differently. And to take that first step. Today.
