The Best Parents Have the Longest Time Horizon By:  Lifebook VIP Members Joshua and Margie Boswell

The wise parent realizes that the average life span of a human being is currently pushing over 80 years, and we only get to closely parent our little ones for about 20 of those years. Our greatest concern should be preparing them for those 60+ years that they are outside of our home and immediate influence. So, the wise parent looks ahead and constantly asks things like... * How will my choices today affect the life of my child when they are no longer with me? * What can I do today to prepare them for a life of happiness, joy, and rejoicing? * How will I empower and equip them to manage life’s stresses, challenges, and setbacks? * What can I do today to help them feel comfortable with their own greatness and power?

Passion is powerful.  It’s the “juice” of life, and the motor for happiness and fulfillment. Through the identification and expression of our passion, we plug ourselves directly into who and what we are at the deepest level possible, and can ultimately define why we are here… our reason for existing and evolving as human beings. The act of simply doing what we love, in and of itself creates more love of life.  When passion becomes a driving force for our actions, we begin living with more clarity and purpose.  We have a guiding force for our creativity, and a vehicle with which to express it. But how can we discover what it is we’re truly passionate about?  And, more importantly, how can we create more of it in our lives?

10 Questions To Unleash Your Passion

The following is a list of questions to help you identify and unlock your passion, so that you can create an infatuation with your life experience and bring your absolute best to the world.

“There is one power in the universe. It does not matter what you call it. You can’t get wet by the word ‘water,’ you must get in.” – Lao Tzsu Spirituality is deeply personal. It's about a personal relationship with one’s creator, or the universe, or all that exists. It's not only about what one believes – it's a path one walks; a process that unfolds in one’s life. Spirituality is an experience. It goes directly to WHO and WHAT ONE IS and WHY ONE IS HERE at the deepest possible level. No one can hand a person these answers. It's up to each of us to discover them on our life’s journey. Lifebook is about taking responsibility to think through and be clear about everything in our lives. This category can be a little more difficult than the others. It's intangible. You can't see Spirituality… you can't wrap your arms around it. But the responsibility is still the same – to bring consciousness and clarity to every important aspect of our Spiritual Lives. This month, we’re shining a spotlight on 6 extraordinary Lifebook Members who have taken responsibility, brought consciousness and clarity, and radically transformed their Spiritual Lives. They represent the top 6 most improved Spiritual Lives of the past year, based on the quarterly Intra-Spect Assessment data. Join us in welcoming and congratulating our ignited members this month by reading their stories of evolution below, and leaving an encouraging comment for them…

Written by: Missy Butcher For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a deep desire to remain solid, grounded and solution-oriented, no matter what life brings my way. It’s always been very important to me not lose my footing, fly off the handle, or spin out of control when unforeseen problems or intense emotions arise. It turns out that Inner peace is the foundation for my Emotional Life. Here’s what inner peace means to me: Inner peace means experiencing feelings of harmony, tranquility, happiness, goodness, self-love, and groundedness on a consistence basis. Inner peace entails a deep trust in myself, and the world around me. It’s based in the belief that I live in a benevolent universe, and that things will mostly tend to go my way. And it represents the profound knowledge that when things don’t go my way, I will make the choices, I will take the actions, and I will use the words that add up to the person that I am, and always strive to be. How do I create the experience of inner peace?

For the final last 3 days in Thailand one of my best friends and the co-author of "Reinvented Life," Christofer Ashby,joined me in Bangkok for a mini adventure before we linked up with our Lifebook group in Yangon, Myanmar.  We started off a few hours after Chris’ arrival by doing none other than clothes shopping!  Thailand has permanently screwed up my sense of clothes pricing in the United States.  In fact, other then my weakness for Lululemon gear, I'm gonna have a hell of a time buying clothes in the states now that I've experienced buying nice shirts for 2-10 bucks and pants for 5-15 dollars. Beautiful women's dresses, $10-20.  Without the unique reference obtained by traveling and venturing out to the raw street markets, (past the tourist traps and malls), you'd never know how much you're being ripped off every time you load up at Neiman or Saks for a new wardrobe.

Bangkok is literally bursting with tailors in every direction not to mention the thousands of hungry clothing vendors.  They may have more tailors than Tuk-Tuk drivers and that's saying something because the Tuk-Tuk contingency are EVERYWHERE!  At first it's impossible to know where to go so we asked a sharp-looking local for a recommendation and he sent us to see Santos, about 15 minutes from our hotel.

Thailand Tales Part 1 If there's a wild west in Asia, surely Thailand must be a front runner... After a few days in Siem Reap, Cambodia, Peter Scott IV and I bounced (with an 8 hour layover at Starbucks) through Kuala Lumpur and went on to Phuket (Southern Thailand) to explore the waters and beaches of James Bond Fame.  What we found was something far more intense and Miami Beach-like with a whole heck of a lot more debauchery.  (is that even possible?)
