I particularly like how Steve mentions the kinds of distractions that steer us away from our purpose - health, financial and relationship problems that keep us running around in little circles. When I read that, I realised that all I've been doing for the past couple of months was get absorbed in my petty day-to-day problems, totally and completely forgetting about the fact that I might have a life purpose, and that it shouldn't wait until next decade, next year or even next month, I need to get to it now.
And Steve is right - I fear my own success. I fear what kind of responsibility success might bring. I fear the implications of being wealthy as a result of success.
But this by far is the best part:
So I’m going for it. If I go broke, I go broke. But if I go this route in good faith, the universe had damned well better back me up.
It makes me think of devout Christians who've said "God, I give my life to you". And in a similar way, I might say "I give my life in service to others and to the fulfillment of my purpose". There's nothing else worth living for. Everything else is a circular distraction.
