You have this one life to live, this one chance to live your dreams, this one chance to make a BIG impact on the world! So what are you waiting for? Get out there and do it! Remember, you are a GIANT thick-skinned rhino and when you are passionately charging towards your life's dreams nothing can stop you!
The only limitations that exist are the limitations in your own mind! The restrictions in your mind were put there by your friends, parents, co-workers, and even by your own negative self-talk. When you follow your passions and do what feels right for you, all of these limitations will begin to disappear. All the garbage in your head and all the negative beliefs you hold have prevented you from following your passions and living an inspired life!
Overnight, all of the thoughts and actions that hold you back from following your passions can begin to go away. Years of fear, negative self-talk and negative external cow talk can begin to hold less power over you if you simply start to believe in yourself, your passions and your gut. You don't need to justify your passions to anyone. What inspires you, motivates you and excites you is what makes you unique!
If your passion is to start the next Microsoft, do it! If your passion is to help end Malaria in Africa, go do it! If you want to open a business you are passionate about....charge!
Be safe, be practical! I know you have been told, "be practical, be safe, take the stable job." You have also been told to "start your 401k, get good health benefits, and stay long enough to get a pension." I’m not asking you to be irresponsible but you need to ask yourself if living a boring, non-passionate, "safe" life is better then grabbing life by the horns and charging through this great adventure called life! Sure taking the passionate rhino path will be bumpy at times, you will encounter failure and defeat, but you will not now the taste of regret! Every failure will make you stronger and more powerful. You have to ask yourself if giving up on your dreams is worth health benefits, a 401k and gold watch when you retire!
Show me the Money! You can monetize your dream! An amazing thing happens when you follow your passion; the money follows too. When you live a life inspired by your dreams, the financial aspects of your life seem to miraculously fall into place. Essentially if you are truly passionate, truly on fire about achieving your dreams, the money will follow! Even if your dream is to have a non-profit organization to help the homeless, you can access millions in donations to make your organization grow. When you have a dream, you will find a way to make it profitable. Follow your passions and the rest of the pieces will begin to fall into place.
Whether your dream is to own a restaurant, start a charter school, become a rock star, run for political office, be any accountant, or raise a family, it doesn't matter. If it is your passion go for it and put everything into the charge! The Universe will begin to provide you with the tools you need to monetize your dream!
ACTION STEPS: 1. List your dreams, your passions: What would you do tomorrow if you won the lottery? If you could work like you didn't need the money, what would your ideal job be?
2. Cow forces: What internal and external cow forces in your life are holding you back from following your passions?
