Where It Comes From

I was recently asked, "What do you think it is about life that you love so much as to make your life about bettering it and bettering the lives of other people?"
I think my passion for personal growth comes from three places. One is my insecurity. As a kid, I felt "less than." And it drove me to push harder and work harder.... In order not to feel "less than." It was a formula my dad gave me. It didn't work on the insecurity, but it did make me a success. I was just a more successful insecure guy. The motivator, however for giving first came from my religious upbringing and my parents generous Judeo-Christian values they instilled in me. They were always a generous family to each other and externally. Big hearts. Finally, however, my practice of meditation and exploration of eastern spiritual practices has brought me more peace and a real desire to bring a contribution to the world, which I am happy to say has brought me even more success than my old strategy of struggling!
