Everyone has a dream. That dream may be to open your own business, sail around the world, or to grow old together with a loved one. I am no different.
My dream is to attain at least one elusive profound mastery, because that would give me happiness. Happiness is a fickle thing, taking many forms and derived from many sources. My happiness comes from doing good for others, making a positive contribution to the universe and creating beauty and joy. As such, I love digital marketing, because it has helped me take creative control in my life and future, and it gave me a genuine involvement in making lives better.
Where I differ from most people however, is that I am no longer content with sitting back and hoping that my dreams come true all by themselves. Trust me, I've tried the jack of all trades (master of none) approach for many years because I wanted to do EVERYTHING, but could never figure out how to fit everything in my life with out sacrificing the other.
The truth is you can never attain a mastery without positive action, sacrifice, and sheer determination.
Since reading the book, "Lucky or Smart" by Bo Peabody, I've learnt that we are often our own worst enemies when it comes to achieving our dreams. The secret to success is to not think you got lucky, but to know when you are getting "lucky". There's a profound difference between the two, and luck can be many things for different people.
A lesson from the book I apply in my daily life is asking myself "what would you do if you weren't afraid?" I may never conquer all my fears in this life, but the one fear I am now laying to rest is the fear of trying.
This is me, taking a step in the right direction.
