A timely letter from Jim Lord to everyone who is striving to make a difference in these times ... and especially to my fellow Baby Boomers, whose passion and commitment can still light the world.

What About the
Next Chapter in Your Life?

In uncertain times, it’s only natural to want to pull back. To hunker down. To wait for better days.

Every day, I hear from people who are doing just that.

When one fellow wrote today about his discouragement, I wanted to put my arm around his shoulders, comfort and reassure him.

Well, that might be nice. But I have something more useful to offer you — because the fact that you’re reading this means you’d rather not be sitting on the sidelines ... you still want to move forward, to move faster toward fulfilling your potential, to contribute to the world around you.

So I’m going to ask you ...

Could you begin the most meaningful chapter of your life this year?

Even in the “best” of times, most folks have trouble committing themselves to something they long to do, because they believe they don’t have the time or resources or energy.

That’s a great excuse to keep from moving forward ... but, as the folks who actually dig in and get things done have discovered, it’s just not true.

You see, the people who are really making a difference aren’t buying into the “woe are we” noise that surrounds us these days … they’re on a completely different path.

They’re succeeding (even now, in “this economy”) because they’re seeking out fresh ideas, trying new approaches, moving beyond the status quo. (And they’re digging deep within themselves. You’ll see why that’s so important in a moment.)

I want to tell you how you can join these exceptional folks and move forward on your dreams — for yourself and for the world around you — instead of dismissing them as “unrealistic.”

For you, this means the difference between living your life small, hemmed in by limits and lack ... and making your greatest contribution to the world.

If that sounds attractive (and even if it sounds a little scary), stay with me for a few minutes and see how you can give yourself a big boost ... by aligning with what’s exciting and encouraging about these times. (Yes, I really mean that.)
