The 5th: Finding Purpose and Service
Barry Lewis Green
Educator, Speaker, Coach, Writer, Creator ... advancing Character Leadership and Education ... to move forward together, stronger ... engaging change.
Formerly called "Plead the 5th", The 5th is the fifth weekly blog post typically released Sunday or Monday of the week ahead.
It only happens when there are 5 Mondays in a month (like March 2021) and, this month, it follows on:
And, this month has been somewhat busy with blogging on what I called very recently The Open and High Road.
As I noted in that post...
- "My thought to you is that if you are trying to figure on your best path of Service... it is best found in your Certitude... and in your Flexibility... the Wisdom to know and accept your Soul... and the willingness to adapt to follow it. In this wholehearted year ahead for me, at the chosen beginning of a new chapter (if you will)... I need this reminder. I need to ever know what my Soul knows so as to recognize the opportunities that attract... and be open to them... and move in that direction. The open and high road knows that character matters.... and that travelling the road is a matter of Character. But it is a high road. Be open and take it."
The 5th this Month
That said, with The 5th this month (and with my little Panda in heart and mind honored), I simply offer up this previously offered blog on trying to find your own sense of Purpose and Service in conjunction with these three TED videos...
- The human skills we need in an unpredictable world... focusing on robust preparedness.
- 5 steps to designing the life you want... focusing on design thinking for life.
- There's more to life than being happy... focusing on meaning and purpose.
... oh, and this posted article from this morning. I offer these to those who are continually exploring Purpose. I believe it matters.
... peace, passion and prosperity.
Barry Lewis Green, aka The Unity Guy with Epic Engage
Lead, inspire, educate, and unite. Move forward together, stronger. My work is about bringing campuses, companies and communities together, moving forward stronger. I work with educators, entrepreneurs and emerging leaders to do just that. My work is about character leadership and education and its role in helping individuals and organizations build a better world at school, work, business and community. I deliver on it through speaking, coaching and development in character leadership and education. My expertise is character leadership and education. I advance unity in diversity by moving the needle on leadership and education that is high character and results forging. I speak, teach, coach, facilitate, lead, write, sing, dance, cartoon and create on that. In 1980, Professor Rolf Hattenauer changed my life. A highly respected expert in Human Resource Management, he expected much of us and he believed much in us. He was an educator and leader of high character. He was extraordinary. To this day and beyond, I try my darnedest to honor his spirit with my own work. That is another story. But I hope I did him service here.
