How can you learn from proven leaders’ wisdom? One quick way is to get an insight to their thought process by reading up on their quotes.
Years ago, a business acquaintance I had met in San Francisco while consulting on a high-tech real estate project for Santa Fe Southern Pacific in Silicon Valley got me started on looking at quotes from different leaders in various industries. Continue reading

On Purpose Magazine wishes everyone the happiest of Valentines Days
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
If we can loose our ego for a moment and just be… Not comparing ourselves to others or thinking about what you have done or not done and what your going to do next or not do next…
If you can just breathe in the moment and let yourself be aware in the moment you will find that you are part of a large and infinite universe.
Say yes to everything and take the challenge handed to you. Lean into fear and you will discover just how brilliant you are. – JW
I used to call this quote of the day, but I never get them out daily or even monthly sometime so it is now just the quote of the moment.
— Ram Dass: Spiritual Teacher
This is a great quote because it talks to me about what I am up against daily. The law of attraction states that what you focus on expands and that is a good thing and could be a bad thing.
It is not uncommon for me to speak to someone that has such a strong agenda and focus, as to be unaware of what is going on around them. This can cause them to follow a path for too long a period or the wrong path entirely.
I will be doing an interview shortly with Michael Oliver. I happen to like Network Marketing (MLM) and have helped found a couple of MLM companies and I know Michael because he wrote this incredible book called
I bring this book up, not to sell it, although you should get it whether you are or are not in networking marketing because it talks to the new paradigm of sales Michael calls Natural Selling.
But back to the point. Whether you are selling or just trying to build rapport or you want your ideas heard or your objectives met, you have to meet with others wants, needs and desires first.
You have to be in your Ekhart Tolle aware moment with others. Not thinking about what you are going to say, but listening to what the person in front of you is saying. Very hard to do, at least for me.
In parting, I could speak to this quote all day, because it speaks to many aspect of the day to day for me.
Be Well
This is a lesson we desperately need to learn. As a society we have, for too many years, assumed someones character, just by the job or position they held. Doctor, Religious Leader, Politician etc..
And as for our own character, we all believe ours is good, but we all make mistakes and may have done things we regret.
So how do we stay on track?
One of the ways is to come up with your list of values. This is part of writing your goals and mission statement.
Yes for your life as well as your business.
You can now take the list of your core values and weigh the decisions you make against them.
If you consistently are in-congruent with your value list you need to change the list or your behavior.
Also try to keep integrity as the number one value, as integrity means that you will follow your values in value order.
What is value order?
Let’s say that your value list reads like this…
1. Family
2. Health
3. Career
Then if you are asked, by your boss, to do a dangerous job on a Sunday, when your child has a recital, you would refuse your boss and not go to work on Sunday. You would instead show up for your child’s recital. You are in integrity with your values.
On the other hand if you do go into work you are out of integrity with your values. But wait… Nothing is always so black and white.
If your family needs the money to eat their next meal and you have cut every expense to the bare bone then you may be in integrity as your family does come before your health.
Not as easy as it sounds huh..
That is why the quote is so important. It says you are always forming. Staying on the path is not always easy, but the more we work at it the better we all are.
