Viral Happiness

So, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Sounds a bit silly, doesn’t it? A child’s question. And we should be well past such things.

But I am not past it. Here at the ripe middle age of 53, I’m still wondering.

So I ask myself, “Buz, what do you want to be when you grow up”

And the honest answer comes to me: “I’m still not quite sure.”

You see, I’m no guru. I’m a searcher, just like you. I’m on a quest…a lifelong quest.

Reading Paulo Coelho’s book, The Alchemist, I have fallen in love with his phrase for it.

He calls it (what you want to be) your Personal Legend. I’ve been given glimpses into my Personal Legend. My quest has led me to work on Viral Happiness. It’s led to my writing two ebooks and filling notebooks with reams and reams of unpublished material.

But I long for my Legend to break forth into my psyche like a bright, guiding star. I want a beacon in my life. I long for clarity. Maybe you do, too.

One of the ways that I intend to encourage that breakthrough is to blog more and write more and (selectively) read more. Maybe you would like to join me.

You could start by reading The Alchemist. Offer a comment here or by email about your own personal journey. Let’s start a dialogue that may lead to a deeper realization of our Personal Legends.

Answering that question – What do you want to be when you grow up – is important business. Let’s start fresh giving it the time and effort it deserves.

We are imminently worth it.
