You Do!
By jopeck | August 8, 2007
Just finished watching Oprah today. It was a show entitled “The Secrets of My Big Success” originally aired April 23rd. (in Singapore we get all the reruns… sigh)
It featured Russell Simmons. “Who’s he?” you’ll probably be asking… I did too. He is the ‘Father’ of Hip Hop. This guy was the one who brought a street phenomenon to the mainstream and made it a cash cow. (more on him here) All in all, a pretty motivated self-made businessman. What impressed me was his down to earth attitude throughout the show. Maybe its just an act but he came across as being genuine and just a regular guy.
He spoke about the importance of being the person you were meant to be. Not the person that everyone wants you to be. In other words, “DO YOU!” Search inside for the passions, dreams and goals that you want. Not your mother, wife, teacher or even Pastor. Then go out and do the work to fulfill that potential.
He just published a book “DO YOU!” which talks about 12 Laws allowing you to access the power in you to achieve happiness and success. I’m planning to go find it and read it. Given the rave review by Oprah and other reviews on Amazon… I hope you do too! 
This is served as an important reminder to stop every so often and check that I’m still on the right track. That I am still focused on my goals and dreams. Are you?
