What Is Your Reason???

In my industry I am faced with posing a very important question to everyone I come in contact with. That question, stated a thousand different ways is: What is your reason? Unfortunately, as I ask the question, I have to keep in mind that most people are ready to fire off a shallow answer like they were built with a hair trigger. For most people, their pre- cocked answer is they just need more money. But like one of my mentors Mark Wieser, would say, "Money is just dirty paper, right". People have to be reminded that money is merely a tool. People who don't realize that money is just a tool, will always be a slave to it. The ideal visual that comes to mind as I type this is that of a carrot tied to stick hanging out in front of a donkey. So what is it that really drives you. What is it that your longing to achieve... what is it that money is going to help you achieve. For me, that thing is Freedom. Complete and utter, unadulterated freedom. I crave freedom of what I going to do with my time. Time is such a massively abused resource that every single one of us continue to take for granted. If you knew you were going to die tommorrow, what would you be doing today?... Imagine for a second you and some buddies are having lunch in heaven, talking about how you spent your last days. What look would be on their faces, as you tell them your story?... Don't live a life of regrets. Start enjoying yourself from this very moment, forward. Take the time to be a blessing to those around you. Leave the legacy of your choosing. Let every person you leave behind, crack a smile at the thought of your name... But that's me. What's your reason?
