The Life You Were Meant To Live Has Been Whispering To You Since Childhood

I want to tell you about a specific afternoon by a pool, in Orlando, in 2006.

It's the unexplainable synchronicities in life that remind me over and over that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves and that, even when we don't recognize it (which is most of the time), we are inspired, guided, nudged, and affirmed by a benevolent force that is both outside of ourselves, yet one with us (I call it God).

For most of my life I've hated being employed, having a boss, being used, controlled, and manipulated by others for their own gain. I've always craved freedom. I've always wanted to be a business owner. I've always wanted to help others in life-changing ways. I’ve always wanted to earn a substantial income, have nice things, and enjoy a life of adventure.

In 2006 my wife and I went to Orlando for vacation.

One day we were sitting by the pool at the resort. Kid's were splashing. Adults were talking, or reading, or napping, or sipping beverages. Music was playing. For some reason my mind was drawn into a vivid vision of what I wished my life could be. It was like I literally slipped into an alternate reality for a few moments.

In that vision, my life was spent traveling around to beautiful places, talking to groups of people, coaching them, teaching them, setting them free, helping them discover, embrace, and begin living out of the very best versions of themselves. I was fulfilled. I was happy. And I was doing good for others.

And then vacation ended.

I went back to life, employment, and mind-numbing work in soul-crushing corporate environments that I pretended to care about...for the next thirteen freaking years. That vision by the pool came back to my mind many times, but each time I dismissed it as a fantasy, for someone else, out of reach for me. But I never let it totally die.

In 2021 I went through a spiritual reawakening and overwhelming transformation as a human being.

Though it's a long story for another time, the chapter headings include remembering who I am and why I'm here, a shift from selfishness to selflessness, an explosion of learning, and a resurrection of the belief that I actually could live the life I wanted while helping others live the life they want.

That reawakening led me to today.

This is where the synchronicities are remarkable and remind me that I've never been alone in this life, and my vision for the life I wanted wasn’t just a fantasy, it was a glimpse into and reminder of what I was created to do and experience.

Today I own my own award-winning company with an income I never imagined possible. I lead a team of people whom I love and get to help create the life, work, and income they want. As a team we help people all around the United States escape employment and create the life, work, and income they want. We travel together often, all around the country, learning how to better help the people who turn to us.

My association, and some of my favorite people in the world, are headquartered in, you guessed it, Orlando (where I envisioned this very thing by a pool in 2006). Every month I get to fly to, you guessed it, Orlando, to spend a week in a classroom teaching people how to launch and build lucrative businesses doing exactly what I do, changing lives, families, and communities. I fly back down next Sunday. And next month my team and I will travel to, you guessed it, Orlando, for our annual conference where our company is nominated to receive two more awards.

To me, these synchronicities are God's playful way of saying, "Yeah, that was me. See, I got you!"

I am convinced that the life I’m meant to live and the work I’m meant to do has been whispering to me since childhood, and all along the way.

I’m convinced that the same is true of you. And I’m convinced that if you’ll quiet yourself and listen, you’ll hear that whisper again.

And I know firsthand, that when you finally commit yourself to pursuing that thing that’s been whispering to you your whole life, your whole life will become more fully aligned with the life you’ve been longing to live.
