Labor of Love

Some of our modern guides and mentors that we know may never have had to work a day in their lives.  They have found the work that they love and each moment they spend on their calling is a labor of love, not work.  Their labor of love has benefitted mankind on a global scale.

One common theme is they have identified problems in the world and have endeavored to provide consistent stream of solutions.  This desire to serve their fellow beings have fueled their passions that fuel their labor of love.  Think of John C. Maxwell and his body of work on leadership.  Think of Steve Kotler and his massive contribution to the science of flow.  Think of Seth Godin and what he articulated through his best sellers like Purple Cow or The Icarus Deception.  

Many more have undertaken generous missions to provide humanity with life skills, fresh perspectives, and novel solutions to vexing problems.  As they did so, they have written massive amount of blogs, published articles, written books, given out seminars, and posted You Tube videos.  

Thanks to Information Age, they have made structured self-education our privilege and our own responsibility.  More importantly, they have shown us that the world that we can love can only emanate from within.  Furthermore, they have also proven to us that the deep desire to serve mankind is also an important ingredient if we want to transform our lives.

Despite the difficulty of getting there, they have pointed the paths to take if we do not want to continue to “work” and join their company and deliver the results of our labors of love.
