Guided Positioning System
Rediscovering my Personal GPS
Sometimes in life, we find ourselves going off course. We do things without sufficiently considering where our actions might take us. An egocentric perspective can set us off in the wrong direction. By rediscovering our own GPS, our sense of community and responsibility, we can redirect even the worst of situations into an incredibly bright outcome.
Principles for Finding our Way
“Paying it Forward” involves doing a good deed for its own sake, without expecting anything in return. The next person is then inclined to do likewise, and so on, creating a daisy chain of good will. If everyone made this their habit, then we’d all be better off as it eventually returns to us in a virtuous cycle of paying things forward.
They say, “happiness resides within,” making it seem as simple as ordering a cappuccino at Starbucks. The challenge, however, is that no one gives us a roadmap. We all yearn for happiness with greater permanence, something we can pull up at will. In the meanwhile, we wander around like blind mice, occasionally bumping into cheese.
Follow Along on my Journey
On Janaury 5, 2023, I will surrender to federal prison. I anticipate that I’ll spend two weeks in quarantine, then join the population. I’ll use this website to lay out a plan. The plan will guide me to a life of service. Click the link below to receive updates on how I’m striving to live in service to others.
