Looking for Inspiration

Sometimes I walk into Barnes and Noble looking for inspiration. Perusing various titles and leafing through whatever catches my fancy. Usually though I imagine myself as a professor and I usually head to the philosophy section. All of this is in stark contrast to my daily job of trying to find mortgage loans. I've chosen mortgage loans as a means to end so to speak. I've been told you can make a lot of money doing mortgage loans. I haven't made a lot of money yet. So I continue to visit Barnes and Noble for inspiration. After I leafed through Foucault's "Discipline and Punish," Locke's "Essay Concerning Understanding,"and perused a study aid for the GRE (yes I still think about pursuing my PHD), I was walking toward the exit when low and behold I caught Emmit Smith pointing at me with a smiling face saying Find Your Purpose, Live our Dream. It was like the Field of Dreams Build it and they will come moment. Who would have thought? Emmit Smith guiding me from the bookshelf. This was it. This was the inspiration I was looking for. Emmit was speaking to me. I immediately grabbed the book started reading about Vision and how important it is for success and all the other ways he was able to become successful. I was going to find my purpose, I was going to live my dream. Stay tuned...
