In 2014, I have asked many people to commit to being hunters. I realize the word is scary and some people have to mentally get over the hurdle of the traditional meaning and get to the idea that by hunting, I mean living; what you are doing every day to get to the place you most want to be.
When I look back on 2014, I am immediately overwhelmed by three images:
- Holding my book, The Hunt, which became a New York Times best seller, in my hands for the first time, fresh off the presses
- Establishing the new HealthRise headquarters, doubling our staff and making great strides in the world of healthcare and revenue cycle
- Sharing my joy with my wife, Nadine, as we watch our boys, Hunter, River & Fisher growing bigger and stronger, becoming incredible people of their own.
And if those were the only things I could remember, I would consider myself a lucky, lucky man. But there are so many more amazing memories from just one year and yet, I know I have so much more to do. To live. To hunt.
So as we all say good-bye to 2014 and welcome a bright and shining 2015, I’ll ask you to consider the following questions and set some targets for the New Year:
- What aren’t you doing?
- What does living well mean to you?
- How do you measure success?
- Who do you want to be in 2015?
A few weeks ago, Nadine sat me down to watch a video that completely inspired me. When you watch The Journey of Purpose, you will see why. Discovering your passion and following it is one thing. Deciding to make your passion your purpose is something else entirely. And that is my number one target for 2015: Make passion my purpose and follow my heart.
Wishing you a new year full of passion, purpose and, as always, successful hunting in everything you do,
