Now many of you may already real­ize that I am joy­fully blessed with a 2-year-old son, JD. Now, I’m prob­a­bly just being a proud, dot­ing dad, but let me tell you, JD is tremen­dously tal­ented and so full of poten­tial! Espe­cially in music, and my wife and I love encour­ag­ing his pas­sion towards play­ing musi­cal instruments.

But hey, I’m not here to just lov­ingly talk about my son, so let me put aside the proud dad hat for a moment and make an impor­tant state­ment. While we want to ensure our child has a happy child­hood, we also want to make sure that we equip them with life skills that will serve them well, don’t we?

That’s why my wife and I have a grat­i­tude ses­sion with JD every night before we put him to bed. Before he goes to sleep, my wife and I sit around him, telling him all the good things that he did today which we are grate­ful for, and we reflect on all the good things that hap­pened that day.

Why do I do this? Because I want to impart upon my son the impor­tance of grat­i­tude and to set in stone a pos­i­tive mind­set foun­da­tion that I know will be cru­cial to his suc­cess and happiness.

Now, the other key that I know will be impor­tant to his suc­cess and hap­pi­ness is knowl­edge. And I want to make sure that JD has the world at his fin­ger­tips when it comes to his abil­ity to access knowl­edge. That’s why I truly believe in this method as the foun­da­tional skill to give JD that gift of opportunity.

If you are a par­ent to a pre-school child, I’m sure you’d find this video series valu­able too, so give can give your child the tools for the right mind­set and a bright future.

Hey guys, my friend Vishen just posted this at Fin­er­Minds and it’s going out to over quar­ter of a mil­lion peo­ple.

He’s going to be con­duct­ing an inter­view with the world-renowned Dr. Sri Kumar Rao, a Colum­bia Busi­ness School Pro­fes­sor, turned per­sonal devel­op­ment guru, and he needs your help to ask the right questions.

I’m excited about upcom­ing inter­view because Sri Kumar Rao’s teach­ings are pow­er­ful com­pli­ments to Bob Proctor’s prin­ci­ples.

So, if you’re a stu­dent of Bob Proc­tor like I am, be sure to take advan­tage of this chance to ask Pro­fes­sor Sri Kumar Rao your must burn­ing ques­tion in regards to dis­cov­er­ing your pur­pose in your career and get­ting MUCH bet­ter at it.

And don’t for­get to watch his pow­er­ful 48 mins Google Talk.

After you watch it, don’t for­get to ask Dr. Rao you’re #1 ques­tion on hap­pi­ness and the workplace.

The Chal­lenge For You:

1. How happy you are in your work?
2. How do you feel about your career and life path?
3. Do you feel that you are fol­low­ing your pas­sion and pur­pose?
4. How can ideas from the per­sonal devel­op­ment field be brought into the work­place?
5. Does med­i­ta­tion, grat­i­tude, pos­i­tive think­ing, visu­al­iza­tion, intu­ition etc have a place in work life?

After you’ve posed those 5 ques­tions to your­self, I want you to drop a com­ment and post this final question:

What’s the #1 thing you want to see changed in your life when it comes to your pas­sion, pur­pose and career?

Talk soon my friends,
Brian
