Success is a way of life. Something you define with great specificity, and then actively create. Virtually all that you are, do and feel can fit into your unique success paradigm.  

 

Are you clear about your expects from life, love, career, people? Probably not...

Expectations are interesting in that we get exactly what we expect upward of 95 percent of the time. Yet expectations are precarious in that, very few people are honest or in touch with his or her true expectations. Be VERY clear on this point – hoping for what you want in any situation (career, love, lifestyle, fitness) is NOT the same as expecting it.

Are you completely stressed out?  Has your life become so busy that you hardly have time to breathe, let alone take time for yourself or loved ones or go on an extended hioliday?

You’re not alone! More than 85% of Americans report being over-stressed to the point of fatigue, mild to moderate depression or anxiety, cloudy thinking, disorganized and poor memory (and this is just the tip of the iceberg).  

 

I love the gorgeous optimism people have for each New Year and for the changes they want to see! The turn of a new year is inspiring, exhilarating & filled with potential…at least for a few of weeks anywat! Hoards of you have already ran out and purchased a gym membership, smoked the last cig from the previous pack, and drank the remaining alcohol in preparation for serious change.

It started when I stumbled upon a picture of Project Getaway 2010, where people were ‘working’ in a tropical environment. ‘Yeah right’ said my cynical self. I almost found the picture disturbing, only because those people were at least one million miles away from where I was at that point. I had just graduated and the only thing I knew was that I didn’t want to continue in that particular field. So there I was at the start again, when I naively thought that I would have had figured it all out by then.

What's your purpose? Clients, friends, family members -- even strangers often ask me about the idea of “finding their purpose.” Purpose... It’s a loaded and complex concept requiring a great deal of pre-defined terminology before a meaningful discussion can even begin. In the end, it comes down to that elusive question that's stumped some of the greatest philosophers of all time: What is the meaning of life? ...  Well, no offense to Plato, but as I see it, most people are actually craving Experience rather that any real need to define Purpose.

Lea Woodward is a well-known blogger and Location Independent (a term that she coined). Her blog has been a great inspiration to me and many others. I told her about Project Getaway and the fact that many of us read her writings and she was kind enough to agree to an interview.

Habits. I nibble on my nails thinking of what the next sentence should be and when I look over, I see my partner obsessively checking his email every five minutes while repeatedly closing the automatic reminder that keeps asking him the same question: 'Are you working already?’.

Project Getaway: Bali 2011 just kicked off and this year’s event is bigger and better than ever! If you followed last year’s event, we know you’ll love Round 2 ...
