I had the good fortune to hear best-selling author Marci Shimoff speak at the eWomenNetwork International Conference & Business Expo in July of this year, and it was the highlight of my event experience.
Given the challenging circumstances we all face in running our businesses, navigating our lives, and negotiating a challenging economy, it’s easy to say, “I’ll be happy when….” Marci’s message is to learn to be happy for no reason, no matter what else is going on. Her intention and her deepest desire is that each of of us becomes full of light, love, and happiness in our own lives and through that, we create a world of peace.
As she and I spoke by phone yesterday, she offered that some people have jobs, others have careers, and others follow their true callings in life. Research proves that those who are following their callings tend to be the happiest. That is powerful food for thought. Are you writing a book because you are hoping to create a new stream of income, or are you writing a book because you have something compelling and life changing to share with the world?
After writing six books that earned best-seller status with the New York Times, Marci quips that hers is an overnight success story that took 12 years to build. I’ll be posting excerpts from my interview with Marci in the coming days, which I hope will inspire you to follow your true calling. In the meantime, if you have not yet read Marci Shimoff’s book “Happy for No Reason” my advice is to run and not walk to this site and buy your copy today.
