Why not do what you love?

I received this email yesterday and it made me smile from ear to ear:

Dear Kenny,

Kudos to all of you.

In January 2010, after a little more than a year of pulling together my life experiences and observations, this 70-year old made a gentle invitation to  those around me by writing a legacy book,  Why Not Do What You Love?   It’s a prompt, rather than a prescription!   With lots of questions!  Among them, how can we look at the bigger picture on the planet, and the deeper core of our own gifts, to see how they converge into a personal/tribe/ “calling”/ that ripples out for good?

Serendipitously, Seth Godin’s Linchpin was launched at the very same time to a great deal of fanfare.   Being able to join up with what has become a worldwide gathering of those who care to make a difference just feels great.

So as I quietly surfaced in January with “my” book project,  I seem to have hit an astounding wave… the Linchpin phenomenon of sharing creative energy and building purposeful relationships.  People doing what they can, because they can, because they love it, is apparently the energy of the new decade.  It is one of the things that gives me hope for the future.

Thanks to all you young and energetic ones who are enjoying surfing this wave doing what you love.  For me, participating AND observing is going to be fun!
