I'm guessing you're a very good consultant. When I've read about goal setting, after writing what our goals are, we should start asking "why?". And don't settle for your first answer, keep asking "why?". Eventually it takes us to our "root", and we find out why we truly want a specific goal. Sometimes we realize the original goal isn't what we REALLY want, but it's something else. Have no fear, one day you'll have fame and fortune as a blogger, and I can say, "I knew him when..." :) Hi Alik – Oh please, don’t call yourself a loser. I’m guessing you’re a very good consultant.

I'd rather say I am more flexible ;) The other thing - I liked your take with regards to what labels other stick to me. It does not matter what they think of you as long as you bring no harm to others. Gennaro,

In terms of the word, loser, we are successed as long as we are happy with our work and life. Who cares about the way outsiders label?

Thanks for helping me identifying the signs that prove i am on track

tom,
good question to ask indeed – “what will be left over when your money, car and house is taken away?”

I mean you can't eat your money or your house, but you can give and receive love from others. In the end you can also think of what will be left over when your money, car and house is taken away.

And yet, this is a means of searching outside yourself for answers you already have but overlook. As you are familiar with the way of the peaceful warrior, you may recall that some people defend an identity or vision of themselves they no longer believe in. This is a sign of evolution in directions that are more aligned with who you are. Books certainly offer a wealth of options and ways of thinking.

I had worked very hard and was able to retired. Then I didn't feel the way I thought I would feel. Later I found my life's purpose in live and I was so passionate about it.
