My purpose behind what I do is motivated through being of service to my fellow man. To play whatever role mine may be (however small it may be) in this life, that I am a part of our collective efforts to create an unshakable foundation, to raise up the quality of the lives we live, to evolve beyond the limitations of our perceived notions of what it should be and step into the utmost heights of what our true potential actually is.
This is what drives me. If I ended up with “nothing” but the knowledge that I did my very best, to the very extent of my meagre capabilities, with honesty, sincerity, integrity and joy, I would leave this world rich beyond my wildest dreams.
Today I received a message from a gentleman I’ve been Coaching in preparation for a certification course. I was very moved. And it is this spark that stokes the fire of my motivation. That helps me to continue doing what I do and why. Although he speaks to our work together, I post it in honour of him, the immense change he is undergoing in his life and in honour of the service he provides in turn for others.
Thank you Mike!
“Mr S, amigo, I’ve said a dozen times before and you’re probably tired of it man but I’m saying it again and again. You’ve been the best since you answered that simple question I posted a few months ago. I appreciate what you have done to the point that it almost feels like you saved my life bro.
I’m a detective in the NYPD, on the job 17 years, and assigned to the Special Victims Division. I investigate child abuse cases, and I’m also on the Hostage Negotiation Team. When I’m on duty I am also on call as a negotiator, so I kind of have 2 jobs every day. The pressure can be a little taxing once in a while but I’m used to it. I actually enjoy it because I do my best under the pressure. I guess that’s why I’m so focused now as the cert gets closer and was a mess 2-3 weeks ago when I almost crashed and burned. You were there and your support, instruction, and advice got me back on the road. Like a corner man getting his fighter back in the fight when he looks like he wants to throw in the towel. Means a lot to me bro. Place my words for everyone to see. Everyone that comes to you for instruction should know that they’re getting the real deal.
Mike”
Why do you do? Why are you, you?
Dare to Evolve,
Shane.
We could all do a little more ‘service.’ Truly makes this world a better place. Nice post man!
Thanks Mark!
