Karmic Capitalists
One of my many guilty pleasures is that I am a sucker for business motivation books. You know the ones….the ra-ra, “you can do anything you put your mind to” type. Not to offend anyone who shares in my indulgence, but without action those books are relatively worthless.
The operative words there are without action. You see, without action; motivation is hollow – it carries no substance.
However, coupled with action, that motivation can be the catlyst that helps you begin to move mountains.
What does that have to do with today’s post? Absolutely nothing. Except for the fact that one of the authors of those motivational books, Jim Rohn, has one of my favorite quotes of all time regarding using other people’s words:
“Don’t be afraid to borrow if someone else has said it well. Winston Churchill said, ‘The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.’ That’s so well said. You could stay up all night and not think of that.”
In that spirit, this blog post is going to direct you to someone else’s words. Tim Ferriss has a great post on becoming a “Karmic Capitalist.” It explains, with more eloquence and efficiency than I ever could, why Blaine and I have chosen to make Dare To Give our life’s purpose:
