Thanks Andrew. On a personal note, your contributions to this blog have had a significant impact on my thinking and way of life. I’m grateful for that!
I agree that the most important aspect to life is your spirituality. Money, clients, and earthly happiness can all be gone in an instant. Remember the true meaning of life and be thankful for that.
Happy Thanksgiving, and continued success!

Thanks Andrew, I loved your message. Thank you for inspiring me to do having-doing-being check for myself. Gongrats for your birthday!

(I wonder why we don’t have thanksgiving holiday here in Northern Europe?)

Did you miss this passage:

Of course, the above list—having, doing, being— is backwards. Most important, as any spiritual path will tell you, is “being.” If you have the right state of mind and of being, doing and having typically follow.

“What you have, what you do, and who you are?”

I hoe those aren’t in order of priority.

anon,

I have read some Dalai Lama books. Instead of being a negative, cynical, and arrogant sniper on this blog, please advise your version of “the secret to life.” Then perhaps we can have a constructive dialogue and come closer as human beings, which is certainly in the spirit of the Dalai Lama’s teachings.

What you have, what you do, and who you are? How sad.

Sounds like you need to read some Dalai Lama books.

Happy birthday, especially — I’m turning 38 tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Birthday! It’s the big one - at least you are truly thankful for everything you have. It’s amazing how many people are just oblivious to everything they have in life.

You’ve accomplished a lot before your 40th birthday. So, are the retirement plans coming anytime soon?? ;)
