Given the times in which we live, and the changes impacting every aspect of our lives – economically, spiritually, morally and relationally – we have the perfect opportunity to determine future choices by design rather than default. Now, more than ever, we can be intentional about what we’re up to. We are extending an open invitation for you to elevate your response to “what’s up?” from “not much” to an opportunity to share with others a compelling and exciting answer.
What exactly does it mean to be up to something in your life? Well, you may be up to something if…..
- Your next great idea is keeping you up at night.
- The economy is prompting you to reinvent yourself.
- Now is the time to get your thoughts and ideas in front of a larger audience.
- This is the right time to go public with your private vision.
Consider these individuals who are up to something:
- A woman, after “downsized” from her senior leadership role at an impressive international company, decides to follow her passion to open an art gallery (with no background or education in art). And she managed to do this while raising quadruplets at the same time! (The gallery and the quads are now 14 and prospering.)
- A furloughed airline pilot manages to open 12 orphanages in Africa while “in between” jobs.
- The corporate executive leaves fame and fortune behind to run a highly successful non-profit outreach center, because this is where he is “spiritually fed.”
- A young man, who thought his next career was as a fire walk instructor, creates a premier leadership firm now nationally recognized for its contribution to conscious capitalism.
- The woman who started with a Fortune 100 firm as a secretary with a high school degree, leaves that same company 21 years later as one of its corporate officers (and with a master’s degree.) She created and now directs a year long program for women called “The Power of Self.”
What do all of these individuals have in common?
Clarity with respect to the direction of their lives.
An eagerness to connect with the people, resources and inner wisdom to help them succeed.
A courageous and conscious commitment to move forward, no matter what.
People who are truly up to something seem to embody the qualities of authenticity, passion, discipline, curiosity, deliberateness, and humility.
...Isn’t now a good time for you to commit to being up to something in your life?
