The Tao of Keith
"What would you do today if you knew that you absolutely could not fail?"
Today, I consider that question often. I find that when I am faced with a difficult decision, or a seemingly impossible task, asking myself that question is very liberating.
So I ask you all - what would you do today if you knew that you absolutely could not fail?
The understanding that work is not life is something that a lot of people miss. Work is part of life, an expression of who you are, but as soon as it becomes everything, I think the passion behind it necessarily disappears.
Is there anything more powerful than easy-to-remember, simple phrases on how to live and work?
Flocking with eagles (passionate, positive individuals who inspire energy rather than drain it) is important to me. I try to be one.
Above every maxim is learn to "stay positive." Too few people these days are able to manage their own emotional state let alone pursue the things that juice them. Not a lot of people have even one passion, let alone many. The great thing about people with passions is that it is in their nature to be happy. To me there is no success in anything, if at the end of the day you’re not happy.
The problem is the philosophy of being happy and making every effort to extracting pleasure from life is called hedonism. I too often pursue the things I enjoy most and sometimes fear my own hedonistic ways. The American culture has become a self-absorbed one. One thing I would add to the Tao is Giving Generously To Others. At the end of life no one will be fulfilled for all his checked off to-dos. Our relationships to others, the degree to which we made other people’s live better, richer, happier will have been the greatest reward.
