Crush It

http://www.amazon.com/gp/mpd/permalink/m2X9S8LNEBP84R

Once common denominator that most writers share is the love of reading. Reading good material entices good writing creativity in many cases. So for most avid readers and writers, it is not uncommon to have Amazon.com saved to their "favorites" on their computer and as a regular purchaser to have recommended purchases sent to your email address(es) suggesting purchase of similar materials. Needless to say, I got one of those regular emails and sometimes, they "grab" my attention and other times, they are bypassed for more pressing issues. Well, this particular time was a "grab" my attention moment and in the process stumbled across the popular book, "Crush It: Why NOW Is the time to Cash In on Your Passion by Gary Vaynerchuk. Check out his promo video above. I was motivated and inspired just listening to his enthusiasm and passion for living the life as CEO of his own destiny. He heavily discusses marketing and living a life that allows you to live out your passion on a daily basis...for many, they relate this to being "a job, work, volunteer position or whatever one does to make money", but what Gary discusses all connects to something totally different than carrying out a company's goals and earning another structure tons of money annually. Gary, in my mere, opinion is talking about that thing that sends you to bed late, awakens you early and you do not mind any of it because it is as effortless as breathing air and that my FRIEND, is passion. Passion is indescribable and it propels you to operate, speak, move and think in limitless ways. Gary seems to believe that kind of passion and the right exposure (marketing) will put you where ever it is you desire to be. Like he mentioned in the video about encouraging a friend to continuously seek "beautiful women" and eventually one of them would say, "YES"!
To me, that just sounds like good ole perseverance and consistently going after what you want. While not everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur, business owner, millionaire, librarian, structured or whatever, there is a life of joy, peace and happiness meant for each of us inside. There is that passion that Gary speaks of for each and every one of us, I believe if we only identify it, connect with it and seek the limitless ways to live in it, we will have created for ourselves a life of abundance!
Find your passion and STAY there....
