The chat was scheduled for one hour and the subject was:
“THE AWESOME POWER OF HAVING A DOMINATING PURPOSE”
Peter Sinclair : Hi Mike & Josh. I want to welcome you both to our LIVE CHAT event. It’s going to be fantastic. The first question I would like to put to you both is this. How important is it to have a dominating purpose? Mike would you like to lead us off?
Mike Litman : Yes Peter. I believe that our dominating purpose is closely tied to our self-esteem. When your ZEST for life mirrors your DESIRE for breath, that is when you will see rapid advances in all areas of your life.
Josh Hinds : Great analogy Mike.
Peter Sinclair : Thanks Mike. Wow. “Zest for life mirroring your desire for breath”, that’s profound. Josh. What are your thoughts?
Josh Hinds : Peter, without a doubt the key to life’s riches is to have a dominating purpose. I think without a larger dominating purpose, a person might find himself or herself moving in all sorts of directions. For instance, the goals I set for myself keep me moving in the direction I want to head.
Peter Sinclair : Excellent Josh. Mike, returning to your last answer. You draw the comparison for us that it’s a bit like the difference between life and death. Serious stuff. Perhaps you would like to elaborate a little.
Mike Litman : It all depends what one WANTS in life. If you look at history you will quickly see that everyone who has accomplished something major has had an EAGER, BURNING desire for its accomplishment.
Peter Sinclair : So Mike, just continuing on, if you were to help someone to define their dominating purpose, how would you direct them?
Mike Litman : Peter, it is my contention that we all have SLEEPING POWERS inside us just waiting to be AROUSED. All these POWERS are only unleashed through the DESIRE that comes with a dominating purpose.
Peter Sinclair : What if someone doesn’t know his or her dominating purpose? How can you help them define it?
Mike Litman : To define it? Hmm. First, one must know that their life HAS a purpose to it. Not everyone does. To me, and in my experience, FINDING your purpose comes through keen INTROSPECTION. This is one reason so many people feel “lost.” They never introspect.
Peter Sinclair : So by defining it they would get a wake up call Mike? Can you explain it a little further?
Mike Litman : Sure. They would begin by asking themselves POWERFUL questions. A good place to start is by serving others.
Peter Sinclair : On the subject of powerful questions – what questions have helped you personally, Mike, to get to where you are and to take you where you’re going.
Mike Litman : Peter, it is critical that we must FIND what we TRULY want and go after it with PASSION. This can be arrived at by asking ourselves important questions.
