If Leslie Hocking had given a title to her talk on the SponsorDaddy Leadership Call last Wednesday, “How to Live On Purpose” would have been perfect! Somehow, in 35 minutes she managed to infuse us with everything we need to manage our lives. The call, fortunately, was recorded and I know I shall listen to it again whenever I feel my life is not as I choose.
Leslie Hocking started by stating that we have a Present and a Future. Between the two is our Process. To make our best Future requires us to create our best Process.
So simple, yet so profound!
Every moment is a choice, and the only effective choice is the one that moves us towards our dreams. We can choose actions that are driven by our goals and dreams, or we can choose to remain in apathy: our inclination is towards apathy, so we need to make a personal choice if we are to overcome apathy.
I found myself thinking how often apathy – my “comfort zone” - dictates my actions or lack of action!
I do not intend to summarize the full content of her material here, but simply state that it was one of the most inspirational talks I have heard in years. She told us exactly how to create our vision – am I the only one who previously found that a problem? And she told us how to create goals that work to inspire us, not deter us.
Finally she gave us some “homework”. After the talk, I created my vision for the next five years and three annual goals to get there. And finally, because it all felt so good, I created twelve action steps to reach my first year’s goal.
Thank you, Leslie Hocking — that’s living On Purpose!
If you had to choose one webinar or call each week, I would recommend you tune in to the SponsorDaddy Leadership Call on Wednesdays at 6PM Pacific Time.
