It’s been an enlightening past 2 weeks as I’m here in Honolulu on a working vacation with my family. My wife and I have felt a real awakening of spirit, of purpose; not from being in a big city with lots to do, but rather by the potential we have to create greatness in the world.
In other words, life beyond settling down in our small town: working backwards as we like to say. First kids, then marriage, then college, then buying a house and then going out and saving the world.
I can’t deny that President Obama being here is having a profound effect on me. Under incredible synchronicities, we’ve managed to see his motorcade twice. Just being here while he’s here pervades the place with a sense on greatness and intimacy due to the fact that we too are deeply rooted in Hawaii.
Here’s the outlook for 2010: much better, with the goal to financial freedom. Not financial freedom for the sake of buying things, as I once may have thought, but to have the freedom to live the life I’m drawn to. To do great things without having to answer causes I don’t support or believe in.
For some reason, I’m drawn to something out there. I don’t know what it is but it’s big and important. It’s not about getting rich or being famous, either. It’s about service and sacrifice and happiness for others.
Other 2010 notes: simplicity, cutting out all that is unnecessary to the goal.
I don’t know, I’m just shooting for writing something every day. It’s important to write everyday…it really is the ticket to freedom.
