Answer This Question, and You’ll Be 1/3 of the Way

I just returned from New York City.  What an amazing city!  I am always energized when I visit.  I was born there (and raised in Wisconsin).  I met my wife, Dawn, there.  I worked there.  I pursued my dreams in New York.

One of those dreams is about to become a reality.  My book, The Law of the Garbage Truck, is going to be published by a major New York publishing house next year.  I am impressed with their team.  I will tell you more when the legalities of the contract are completed.  I’m excited and very grateful.

I wanted to share my news with you because our attention over the last few weeks has been about how to pursue what you love to do professionally.  Writing, speaking, and helping you is what I love to do.  I want you to follow your passion too.

I believe deeply we should be grateful for what we have while we pursue what we love to do.  Great things happen when we believe our dreams are possible, and we are willing to work to make them happen.

Over this week I want to share a few of the most powerful life-directing questions we can ask ourselves.  These questions have helped center me for years.  

Today I’ll start with the first question.  No matter how busy you are this week, take two minutes to write down your answer.

Here’s the first question.

“What do you really care about in your life?”

Answer this question and you’ll be one third of the way to living a great life.  Your answer will help you focus your time, energy, and creativity on what matters to you.  

Take two minutes and make your list now.  Then think about your list over the next couple days.  I’ll then post the second question for us to think about.  

Have fun and feel good about making your list of what you really care about.

As always, let me know how it goes when you have time.  I’m rooting for you.

Best to you,

David

Congratulations on the upcoming publication of your book.

Thanks for sharing this life-directing question with us. I've been fortunate and blessed to have always believed that my dreams are possible, therefore I've only done jobs and endeavors that I really care about. What I care about now is empowering others to create the lives they want.
