In highly developed countries, there is a growing percentage of people thinking about the meaning of life. This genuine spiritual concern is broader than traditional views of religion practiced in numerous countries of the world. Yet, it is unclear to most how they want to live their life in a meaningful way.
"I'll be happy when...." is the way many people think they are living their lives. Yet, happiness is not something that happens to you. Happiness is inside you now. You are motivated from within. You only have to allow happiness to surface.
Happiness = K (knowing who you are) X D (discovering your life's work) X L (learning not to tolerate what's not important).
That's Coach John Agno's formula for happiness--know yourself, your true calling and that you get what you tolerate.
In medicine, you look at how "well tolerated" a drug will be related to its side effects. At work and at home, many people evaluate new opportunities related to what can be well tolerated. Yet after life, most people don't want their tombstone to read, "He tolerated stuff for other people because they paid him." Especially, when we realize that we can make more money and have more fun doing work that engages our passions. Life is too short for doing work you don't enjoy for people you don't respect.
We all need to discover our life's work or life signature to lead a life of passion. Our "life signature" is the tracing of the talents we are given and how we express them in our lives.
"No man is born into the world whose work is not born with him." James Russell Lowell
