Do you have a vison for your life?

I am not even sure how it happened! I was reading an article in Der Spiegel about journalism, journalists, Snowdon and the end of democracy.
I had known about the government spying on its citizens,because a few years ago, as a translator, I had translated some manuals. And here in the Philippines the TV series "Person of interest" is shown. What really shocked me was the extend by which we are spied on.  And a question that never was answered, not even asked, was/is "Whom do they think they protect" with millions or even billions of our (taxpayers) money?
Then I read about an e-Store builder, because one of my options is to have my own online store.
Maybe it adds that the last few days I had thought or better wondered why I seem to have problems to find the proper people to work together with.
Leader vs. bossNow I also remember when I went to bed last night I was thinking about my leader qualities and my "lack" of follower qualities.
Yes, then it happened, like a flash of lightning it hit me"I only plan my future and live it"
I live my live like an employee. No, this is not to belittle employees, it is more the mechanism I want to point out: I plan my future, I set goals, and milestones and start working to realizes it. At the milestones I stop and check, adjust means and direction. And very often I reach my set goal.
Yes sometimes I do not. But I never fail, because I always learn.
This had made me content and no matter if I was in an up or a down part of the live cycles I knew I do well.
Do you see what I mean? I have no vision to follow!
You may wonder what makes the difference some call it a goal others call it a vision.
I see a huge difference!
A goal is something you know, see or have heard about.
A vision is something that only exists in the other worlds and you started to make it come true in this world too. The Apple founder Steve Jobs was a visionary!
Steve Jobs
Yes, not everybody can be a Steve Jobs. And if you live an ordinary live a goal might suit you well and even put you in the top section of mankind, because most struggle day to day to "survive".
What if this is the problem?
What if we struggle so much
because we do not have a vision?
I am not talking about hard times, even visionaries have them (Jobs for example had cancer, as you know). What I mean is most of us are like soldiers in a medieval battle, we see the enemy closing in on use, swords threatening us and step by step we advance or move back wards, we get wounded and continue to fight.
If we have a vision, we do not only see the enemy in front of us, we know what we fight for and more like the commander on his hill, we see the battle as a whole!

Maybe you should stop for a moment and check if you have a plan for your life and your family and probably even your business. And if you follow a religious or spiritual path, kindly do not exclude it!

Is founding a new business a new andventure?

Having the tendency to be a loner, I had kept my spiritual life separated from my every day life. But still I was quite active in our local Eckankar group.  Are you doing the same? Then, years back another member of Eckankar who was not so active because he had bought a house and needed to pay the mortgage (work harder) in a discussion asked exactly the same question: "Do you think it is less spiritual to be fully involved in life?"
About a month ago I joined CashUnite and emerging worldwide MLM company. Currently the known Product is a MultiMediaSuite. The Company is still in pre-launch which may give me a head start, but if the announcement are all hot air, I will have a painful landing in reality. Do you know why I joined CashUnite? Because I saw the potential of the MultiMediaSuite. But I am also a dreamer! I like to see the world and its part very idealized - I am a loving optimist. Do not get me wrong. Like every human I have my dark moments. Moments when he dark forces of fear and doubt attack me, when the routine of daily life  lowers my guards and when the soft skin of a bosom steals the memory of real life and lulls me into the wish to stay there and all will be fine. Or when worries for money, health or family (sometimes even mankind) cut my eagle wings and try to confine me to a chicken pen.
And even when my eagle feet scratch ground at night I am back to the sky and be what I am - a free Soul. And in the morning when live catches up in the back of my mind lingers the memory of being free and knowing I CAN DO IT.
Then back to CashUnite and the recruiting the waves of daily stupidity force me to raise my guard. But life can be cruel wave by wave it crashed into my defense an often before lunch my defense is down, overloaded, to weak. So the only thing which is left is to limp back into the chicken pen and with discipline finish the task of the day.
But I am and eagle, I am Soul and no longer need the bars to protect me from life. When I feel the waves sucking out my feathers, driving me back into the chicken pen I remember my life line: Love even if the waves crash in me like a Kingfisher (susulbot in tgl) I emerge and rise again.
Cashunite is not only an adventure for me, it is a spiritual training ground.
I invite you to join me in this journey. CashUnite is new and it is only online, but if you prefer established companies Amway or Nuskin it will work as well.
Yes I hope the MultiMediaSuite will be a success because I need the money. But it is only money, but the experience independent of the outcome will last! SO money would be nice and hopefully comes, but the ways is the goal!
Come join, lets start this adventure (it is worldwide)
