A great seminar with Mary Morrissey

I am back on my blog....absent since August 2010!   What happened, well it is a long story I won't tell you right now.  

I just returned from a weekend in Arlington VA (ten minutes from the Washington Reagan airport) with Mary Morrissey, called Dream Builder Live (see www.marymorrissey.com)  I had taken her three month online program to get more clarity on my own dream, but it wasn't until I attended the weekend that the full picture came into focus.  The book I am completing in the next couple of months is called YOUR ORIGINAL LIFE:  Finding Freedom in the 21st Century.  I have  interviewed 20 fabulous millennials I've met in the last few years, each of whom has created their own unique path.

I know that a lot of young people are uncertain of what they want to do -- or even if they want a career at all. I get it.   Times are changing so fast and our longings with it.  We want to make a difference; we want our lives to count for something; but on the other hand there are cars to buy, great or not so great places to live, seemingly endless schooling for more advanced degrees or opting for a useful vocation where you don't need all that.  Here's an example: I heard of a guy who can repair any kind of refrigerator and he traveled for years all over Mexico and South American -- always had plenty of work if he wanted it! Or maybe you want to be the next tech billionaire like Zuckerberg, young creator of Facebook. It is a matter of values, and of deep self inquiry that, unless you are already driven by your passion, is often hard to do by yourself because of the conditioning that has been laid on you by family, culture, media, and school since you were in kindergarten!

I'll be writing more soon.
