Be Courageous

Living my purpose has had other effects. I've learned as a commanding officer in the Navy and got a lot of great leadership training from the military the importance of walking the talk and taking my own medicine. I'm constantly in the process of honing, evaluating, and updating my purpose over time and trying to find bigger, more effective, more challenging, more impactful ways of living that purpose. Which means I make myself nervous a lot. The sources where I get my information about my purpose make me very nervous with the demands they place on me, which is why I'm going after country purposes. Part of me wishes I were just working with companies all the time, finding their purpose. That would be so much easier than going out to try to find countries that want to find their purpose. No one's doing that. That's a completely new market. I have to go create the idea in people's minds before they would even want to hire me to do it. Huge project. But really interesting, super purposeful. For me, modeling the courage to keep leaning into bigger and more challenging versions of my purpose has been really inspiring to the people in my community.
