Find out who you are and do it on purpose

Dolly Parton

It would be worth an hour reading/listening to Dr. Srikumar Rao.  He is a business school professor at Columbia and London business schools, who has an interesting outlook on life. 

There is NOTHING that you have to get, do or be in order to be happy.

I repeat, NOTHING. In fact, happiness is your innate nature. It is hard-wired into your being. It is part of your DNA. It is ALWAYS with you.

And the question that has probably popped up in your mind is, “If happiness is my innate nature, how come I am not experiencing it? How come I am experiencing ‘My life sucks’?”

And my answer will startle you even more. You do not experience the happiness that is your innate nature because YOU HAVE SPENT YOUR ENTIRE LIFE LEARNING TO BE UNHAPPY.

The quote above is found here: Finer Minds

It’s also worth watching his lecture at Google: Google University

There's no destination  You are doing exactly what you were set on earth to do

Does this describe you?  If it doesn’t, are you getting closer each week, month, year?  If not, you may be wasting your life. Isn’t life is far too short to be wasted?

  1. Whatever life throws at you... you have two choices:

    1. you can be mad and upset about it, or

    2. you can be happy about it.

    I choose #2.
