You can be Better than a Basset Hound
 

My father was a pretty bright guy, but I have found that there is a better way than to “act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic.”  That better away is finding what your passions are and engaging in them.  Once you gain this understanding you will not need to get hyped-up for the tasks at hand.  When you are passionate, work is not what must be done, it takes on a new character of what you love to do.  Can you imagine what it would be like to wake up excited about the day and then at night lay your head down with a sense of great satisfaction?  Hundreds have taken the GPS Life Journey and are living out their passions.  You can be next.

Directive:  Turn enthusiasm into boundless enthusiasm by discovering your passions.

What I Learned About Me

Through GPS I learned that I am passionate about four things.  The first two related to my personal life and the second two my professional life.

  1. Loving my wife.
  2. Giving wise counsel to my children (who all but one are fully grown).
  3. Helping not-for-profit organizations flourish and grow.
  4. Leading others through GPS so that they can live purposeful and passionate lives.
For me, I found great clarity of passion in my personal and professional life by working through this innovative and unique program.
