Wanted to revisit this post for personal clarity and encouragement for you. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
As I've watched my life twist and turn since I began Epic Living, I haven't always embraced the idea of where it was leading. Maybe because of the surprises (good and bad) that have come my way. <\/em><\/p>\n Ryan Bettencourt of Learn From My Life<\/a> relayed a story to me, on the radio show, about Daniel Pink<\/a>. Daniel made it clear that life was not linear. Instinctively, we would agree with him. Who has had a life that lived straight? Not me.<\/em><\/p>\n This past weekend the difference between my work and my life was illustrated vividly. <\/em><\/p>\n I met people at a picnic that seemed to know me even though we'd never met. Call it destiny or serendipity, but it was clear I was meant to connect. God is a wonderful writer. So many of my experiences being honed to manifest something beautiful. As mentioned before, I couldn't have predicted or scripted such encounters. <\/em><\/p>\n OK, I know I'm being vague\/cryptic. The people I met were a part of an organization that I've agreed to help on a long term basis. Obviously, I will reveal more at a later date. But this post is not about me. It's about you and your life.<\/em><\/p>\n If you spend your time (who knows how much you've been given) working on work, more than likely your life will evaporate. Many are doing this now and fooling themselves into believing that a promotion or the number of direct reports validates. It doesn't. A simple deception that occurs with every tick of the clock. By the way many employers are complicit here.<\/em><\/p>\n
