I have a quick quote and a quick quiz for you today. Who wrote the following quote:

It seems to be true that we find our most complete fulfillment if we can be ourself and do what we like to do while dedicating ourself to a task we believe in. In this, we transcend ourselves, and simultaneously satify ourselves. One without the other throws us off balance.

Was it Viktor Frankl or Friedrick Nietzsche?

Quotes like these seem so simple yet are so profound. The solutions to 90% of life’s disappointments can be found in this one paragraph. (Except for the answer to the quiz.)

First: Learn what you really like to do. Not what you should like, not what is big money, not what your family will approve of, but what you really like. Maybe the thing you would do if you had a month to live or the main thing you’d like to be remembered for.

Second: Learn what you really believe in. Not what you were taught in church or school or by society, but the thing that resonates in your heart and soul. This can be hard, because people aren’t (and shouldn’t be) limited to one true belief. If you find yourself wavering with your belief, pick the one that moves you most at this point in your life. You can pick up others at any point in your life.

Third: Find our how your like can be applied to support or produce more of the thing you believe in. For example: you like to speak in public and you believe strongly in the rights of children, so you start a podcast or a national speaking tour or prop your soapbox on the steps of City Hall and give your knowledge to illuminate others.

Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh: Become fulfilled, transcend yourself, attain satisfaction and live in balance.

What could be more simple? Now that you’ve reached this point - and if you need to - start thinking of ways to earn your living from this new dedication. There honestly is money to be made in doing the right thing for yourself and others. By thinking rich, you’ll find the wealth in what you love.
