Be Yourself

Interviewing a business owner was such a great way for me to get inspired about owning a business one day. I loved learning about the real-life aspects of the process my friend took to open her business. It helps me learn and also helps her understand how far she’s come and see her successes. There were many things I had not thought about and now realize you have to be aware of everything and learn as you go too. Having a business is not going to a breeze but requires trying many different things if it’s not quite right until everything is just as it should be. Things will then click into place and systems will be built to sustain it.  

Thinking big and realizing our potential is unfortunately something many of us struggle with. Instead of focusing on weaknesses, keep pushing forward and big things can happen. We are on a journey to become better and not just pretend to have it all. Changing our hearts is the most important thing we can do as we try to learn and grow on earth. Creating something like a business is a way we can create our best selves.  


I love the idea of giving ourselves time to relax and not push ourselves too hard. When we relax and take time to do what we truly enjoy and love, our minds can open and discover awesome things. We are being kind to ourselves and others by not taking work too seriously in a way. Be different, be yourself, and don’t be afraid to speak up and stand out. Let your interests flourish into beautiful things. “I know that to be successful in life, you have to unleash your creative powers in pursuit of your life’s purpose.” Your Emotional Fingerprint.

Good Business

  "What's a Business For?"      Based on what you read in the first two pages (pages 3 and 4), why are virtue and integrity so vital to an economy?   Virtue and integrity are so vital to an economy because if companies do not have  the customers'  trust, they will not invest their money  with  them.  Many companies are becoming selfish and power/money hungry and when they lose integrity like this, people notice and don’t trust them to invest their money safely.  The economy naturally suffers in this case if people feel better about keeping money under a mattress rather than in a bank or company.     According to Charles Handy, what is the “real justification” for the existence of businesses?   The real justification for business existence is  to make a difference in the world. Business es   need  to make enough money  to carry through with  this purpose. The purpose is not to make money to then make more money. The money is  ne e ded to allow the company to do good an

A Hero's Journey

  “The hero’s journey is all about you, but it’s not about you at all.” This quote summarizes very well  what a   clear  life  perspective should  look like .  We get to choose what we do in our lives.  What do I focus my energy on? What goals will I have? It is good to  self-reflect but when that’s the only thing you think about, life becomes unbalanced. If I only think about myself and my bubble around me, I tend to get depressed and self-absorbed. When I look outside, see the world and  all  the people ,   I see more purpose and  fulfillment .  How do I want to treat people?  Will I take the Hero’s  Journey,  or will I take another path filled with looking for happiness in all the wrong places?    “ So,  what does it mean to choose a hero’s journey? It means to live every moment of your life like it matters, because it does.”  Life can get us down and build us up.  All  the se  waves are there to help us learn and find meaning. Every   life has a mission. What is my life goal? All t

Stay centered and focused

 This week I learned a lot about having a course and destination in mind so that I can make a plan. I really enjoyed the "phases" outlined in the Launching Leaders reading. Having a goal for where you want to be and what you want to accomplish is so important to success. Otherwise, how do you know if you can see your actions as successful when you don't know what you're working towards? Including God in those "phases" is a key part of aligning our plans for a meaningful life. I love the idea of a daily devotional to keep God centered in decisions. The formula is a game changer for me and is the perfect equation for success. Getting up early is #1 and has been something I have always felt a good thing. I am more of a morning person because I feel inspired to get moving and accomplish things most mornings. Working hard is also part of the formula. If you get far in life without working hard, do you even feel satisfied or happy? Hard work is rewarding! Getting
