I shared this quote with my friend's son (he’s 11 and at the age at which I feel quotes are now starting to make sense to him LOL). It blew his mind and we had a good 30-minute conversation about it.

Many people dream but never take their first steps. This is a common problem—taking that leap. But I believe the bigger problem is when we work without purpose. When we just work for work’s sake. We stay busy but our days are spent without real meaning or passion behind our efforts.

All of us can do whatever we want in life, as long as we have a purpose and we are always conscious about looking toward where we want to go. My friend's son doesn’t necessarily have to choose his path now of course, but I want to make sure he doesn't end up on a hamster wheel like so many people do before becoming an entrepreneur.

Anyway, there’s a lot to unpack in that quote, but I just thought I’d give you something to noodle on today. Share the quote with someone you know and see how they respond. You might have a really interesting conversation about it.
