He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.

Sounds like a great tool. (And, bonus, I like lists.) Anyhow, what a great quote! Will write it on a post-it or on the fridge dry erase board.

But people always talk about wanting the work that we do to be something that we love, and that it isn't disconnected, and so I guess that yes, I agree in thinking that that is maybe the idea goal! Good luck with the blueprint goals. Do you have a boyfriend already, or you just mean, you would like to get married period?

The snow this winter has been a great reminder to slow down and see the beauty of life instead of the hassles. I do that too.

"Is the key learning to love LIVING so much that we love every part of it--even the bits we wouldn't usually relish?" Hmmmmmm..... Love that quote!

I really appreciate your openness and willingness to take on these great life questions. From my experience, I think there are seven things that can help us get closer to that wonderful goal. They are... 1. Personality: Be who you are 2. Passion: Do what you love 3. Purpose. Do something amazing to change the world 4. Path: Set forth on your journey 5. People: Bring along mentors and find people you can help along the way. 6. Problems: Find ways to climb the mountains that confront you 7. Place: Find a place that sets you free where God can shine through you. As a side note, Erwin McManus wrote a wonderful book, entitled "Wide Awake," that has really helped me master the art of dreaming with both eyes open. It's a great book to help you create a life worth living. Great quote, Lindsey. I really appreciate your openness and willingness to take on these great life questions.

"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." ~ Howard Thurman Another Blissdom nugget... one that has shaken my world the past ten days. I'm intrigued with the notion of turning work into play without negating responsibility. What about the parts of life we don't necessarily love, but MUST accomplish? Is the key learning to love LIVING so much that we love every part of it--even the bits we wouldn't usually relish? Have you heard this quote?

I thought he was one of the best parts of Blissdom. I think taking the time to define what you love is the hardest part of this. In an earlier comment I recommended doing Marcus Buckingham's "I love it" and "I loath it" lists. Supposedly it will help you define what you really are hardwired to love - not just what you are good at and get praised for. Btw- I feel the EXACT SAME WAY. But there is time for that. I am confident that our paths will cross again. And I can't wait. Yes, Kevin Caroll actually used this quote in his presentation. I thought he was one of the best parts of Blissdom.
