spirituality... to be... put in motion... a living person... driven... #living #sacred #divine4/30/2013 to be... put in motion... a living person... driven... “A single day is enough to make us a little larger or, another time, a little smaller.” ― Paul Klee “You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out thatGod hates all the same people you do.” ―Anne Lamott “Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.” ―Carl Sagan Spirituality: quality or state of being spiritual The term spirituality lacks a definitive definition, although social scientists have defined spirituality as the search for "the sacred," where "the sacred" is broadly defined as that which is set apart from the ordinary and worthy of veneration. The term "spirituality" is derived from the Latin spiritualitas and the Biblical "roeach/pneuma". It means to be put in motion, to be a living person, and being driven. -en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirituality experiencing LIFE... means you got to be movin'... "Don't settle down and sit in one place. Move around, be nomadic, make each day a new horizon. You are still going to live a long time... and it would be a shame if you did not take the opportunity to revolutionize your life and move into an entirely new realm of experience." ―Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild Dream more... Do more... Be more... So You Want To Be a Visionary: The Road to Making Meaning by Lorée Beth Rider, popcopymarketing.com Sub Series - 1: Regaining Control of Your Life, Work, and Destiny Enter a new economy; one where fulfillment means a little more than late nights with check lists of deliverables. It’s an economy of service over selfish and it looks more like happy than hype. It calls to people who are in the business of making meaning, not just making money. Making meaning isn’t subject to market fluctuations. The dividends don’t decrease over time. Making meaning doesn’t ask you to compromise your ethics. You don’t ever hear the phrase, ‘Mo’ meaning, mo’ problems.’ But you do seek promotions. You’re still on a ladder, and you’re even more driven than before. You work hard because you can’t wait to make more meaning. At least, that’s the idea, right? But inevitably our visions of taking the high road to a Nobel Prize might very well include visions of past due notices, because if there’s one thing ‘making meaning’ doesn’t do on its own, it’s pay the bills. What do you sacrifice to stay the course? That’s what the process of making meaning asks you. It asks you that each time you opt out of a vacation, see your neighbor’s new car or envy the upgrades. It nags at you, doesn’t it? In fact, some days, you seriously resent it. Meaning and money can indeed co-exist, but there are always things you give up to know the true value of each. And with everything you turn away to keep moving toward your sense of calling, you're refined and become that much more determined to make your own meaning from it. There’s something greater than a paycheck that motivated you to step out of the pack. Can you remember the freedom of that moment? If you once trusted that you were designed to create something only you were uniquely purposed to do, then you’re already equipped with what it takes to do it. It's time to face the fact that you're ruined.There’s no going back once you’ve felt the freedom. You may have to take a detour or re-evaluate the road map, but you’re still moving, and all along the way, you’re making meaning for the people who watch. There’s not an upgrade in the world worth more than that. Lorée Beth Rider is the principal and founder of PopCopy Marketing "It’s not about us. It’s about them."

How many of you actually read them? Checking that ‘terms and conditions’ box is like a means to an end, we can’t get from step one to step two without checking it. And all too often, we do it blindly, without thinking, without reading, without really agreeing. When we check it for iTunes, or to download an app, we could easily say, ‘What’s the big deal?’ but in our very own lives? Do we check it there, too? Do we blindly agree to the pre-established ‘terms and conditions’ simply as a means to an end? There’s a dubious quality to feeling a call. And if you’ve ever been pulled toward a purpose greater than you, you’re bound to suffer a bit of embarrassment trying to live it out. Any pursuit that involves staying true to yourself forces you to read through the traditional terms and conditions that you’ve checked so many times before. What’s in there that’s left you craving more in life? What have you agreed to in the past that’s gotten you all you thought you should’ve wanted … except the hole inside you? What you end up finding when you finally read through them ultimately forces others to examine their own pursuits, so you must be prepared to defend your new terms. If you dare to set your own terms on life, you risk loss, you risk failure, you risk humiliation … but you earn meaning. Because with every bit of the ‘leaving behind’ you do when it comes to living life on your terms, you’re investing instead in the business of making meaning." "Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Lorée Beth Rider is the principal and founder of PopCopy Marketing "It’s not about us. It’s about them."
