Go Deep!

How deep do you go with the questions of life? Questions like “who” are you as a human being? What “responsibilities” are yours because of your life definition? How well do you “represent” yourself in the roles you play? If you have no real answer to those questions then it is time for you to go deeper into the challenges of living.

You need to provide definition for your life. Most people allow what they do or the career they pursue to define them. What you do is not the place to begin. It needs to be the result of definition not the cause. Who you are is a picture you have to create. It is the place you need to begin.

Once you have definition in place, you are ready to refine it by establishing priorities and responsibilities you recognize. Because of who you are there are resulting responsibilities. By establishing your value system, your priorities, and your responsibilities as a human being, you are ready to decide how you will express it.

Representing who you are is really what life work is all about. Because of who you are and because of what you believe, you are ready to present. You are prepared to represent yourself with integrity. When you establish your purpose for life and work it will always take on new meaning no matter what the company or even the economy says.

Take a little time for yourself. Pause to think. Go deep into the questions you really need to be asking. Continue to answer them as you grow through the rest of your life. Do well, my friends.
