Last year, I discovered a sure fire way to get a big result: I attached purpose and meaning to something I was already doing. It all started with a very small idea: tracking how many miles I was walking. Then, inspiration: how about using these miles for charity?

By the end of 2009, I

• walked over 600 miles
• lost over ten pounds
• got into the best shape of my life
• raised $3,000 for the fight against breast cancer.

Think about what matters to you. Look at what you do every day. Attach one to the other. Every day you have opportunities to tap into what’s important. Choose to act and you’ll plug into a source of energy, joy, and satisfaction.
