- Living on Purpose and Why Jacob Sokol Wants You to Leave Here and Never Return
  
  By Dave Ursillo on Aug 30, 2011
  
  “What I want you to do,” said my buddy Jacob Sokol, the author of the Sensophy blog, as we chatted via Skype the other day, “is to email your subscribers and write on your blog and to tell everyone that follows you:
  
  ‘Yo! If Lead Without Followers isn’t launched on September 26th, unsubscribe and unfollow me and never speak to me or think about me ever again.`”
  
  …Why?!
  
  And why September 26th of all days? What’s so important about September 26th?
  
  Nothing, really.
  
  Except that it’s an actual date. A deadline.
  
  And while it’s important not to rush …

- The Fundamental Essence of Life: An Incredible Truth
  
  By Dave Ursillo on Apr 30, 2011
  
  “I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the Astonishing Light of your own Being.” ~Hafiz
  
  Of all such wildly uncertain things that reign forever unknowable through the days and nights of life — those plaguing confusions and confrontations; miscues and missed opportunities — I find myself suddenly well-afforded as my daily attention drifts less to these nagging thoughts and wonders, and more to the fundamental essence of life: an incredible truth, an undeniable reality, a beautiful wonder more poetic than any hymn or rhyme of God Himself.
  
  We are all connected! Bound and …

- How to Burn a Mind-Cloud: Sparking Light in Times of Darkness
  
  By Dave Ursillo on Apr 18, 2011
  
  “There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” ~Edith Wharton
  
  I believe Edith Wharton might have come up short in her description of “spreading light.”
  
  One could be as a candle and sustain a flame, providing light for others; or a mirror, reflecting and spreading light that is emitted by others. But who themselves spark the flames that light the candles that reflect light in times of darkness?
  
  You yourself can become the match – the catalyst of happiness, a conduit of goodness, the very spark of piercing light that erases …

- 33 Mantras of Giving (for Manifesting a Legacy of Love)
  
  By Dave Ursillo on Mar 3, 2011
  
  In a world that oft seems to swirl with darkness, every smile is a battle won; each good deed a quiet war for good.
  
  “Giving” is one of those muddled-over buzzwords that we overuse so much that it actually loses significant meaning.
  
  It’s like when you hear a social media expert say “engaging in discussion,” or a blogger tell you they are “building a community,” or even politician talking about “change” … your eyes start to gloss over and maybe even roll back into your head. You hear a voice within you crying out, “We get it already!” and any …

- Leaps of Faith and the Art of Direction Without Destination
  
  By Dave Ursillo on Feb 21, 2011
  
  “Direction is the journey, the path, the waves that roll with the tides, long and purposeful.”
  
  Last week, my friend and fellow FireStarter test-subject Jessica Swift and I connected on Skype to catch up and discuss what changes we were implementing so far after our websites and business ideas were wonderfully critiqued by Danielle LaPorte and Jonathan Fields on a live conference call with over 250 bloggers and entrepreneurs.
  
  The conversation quickly turned from business ideas and blog changes to serendipity, leaps of faith and the idea of pursuing direction in life without a hardened, final “destination” in mind – …
