Energy is a clue to developing our human resources. Human life, like all life, is simply energy. Some activities give you energy and some take energy away. If you’re doing something you love, you’re spiritually uplifted. And if you’re doing something you don’t care for, you can be physically exhausted and depressed. There’s such a difference in the energy of people who are only enduring – getting on with what they’ve wandered into – and people who really love what they do and couldn’t imagine doing anything else. People who are doing what they love to do uplift us by their own luminescence. They carry a certain energy. They’re in their element. They’re authentic. What they do isn’t just what they do; it defines them. It’s who they are.

Our lives are not linear. They’re organic. You can’t plan the life you have, but if you invest in your own talents and passions, your life changes around you. It reconfigures. It grows into something different, something more like you.

I don’t come from a place of judging whether or not other people’s lives are meaningful, but what I’ve observed is that the biggest obstacle often holding people back is a lack of confidence and courage. People who believe in themselves and are brave move forward. People who follow through and realize their dreams, as I’ve been fortunate to do, seem to experience many deeply meaningful moments in their lives.

I’ve been developing a meme called The Left Turn Theory. Whenever I feel totally comfortable in a situation and can see the road stretching before me, sometimes endlessly, I make an unexpected left turn and the world becomes exciting, strange, and new again. For example, I never expected to live in Los Angeles. Now, every time I see a palm tree, I’m slightly shocked and surprised and it makes me smile.

Every day, I care less about what other people think and I become more and more daring. In a few months, I might just do something I never imagined I’d do, something I can’t even guess about now. I might even do it naked. Can’t wait.

More than anything else, what I’ve learned is that our time here on Earth is finite. We’ve each got a particular canvas to paint on, and whether our canvas is big, small, or medium, it’s the only one we’ve got.

Vision is a destination- a fixed point to which we focus all effort. Strategy is a route- an adaptable path to get us where we want to go
