2. They say the biggest migration in
human history was the California gold
rush.

3. Countless people from the East Coast
of the United States moved to the
West Coast, when gold was discovered
in 1849.

4. Now, that is a long journey.

5. One a lot of people didn't make.

6. And the ones who were successful
didn't all find huge golden nuggets.

7. But there's something with humans
that gets us going on long journeys.

8. So long as we believe there's
something at the end, we'll get
moving.

9. Some believe this exists on a very deep
and subconscious level.

10. Previous human migrations were
based on massive climate change.

11. Those that had the desire to uproot
and move survived.

12. Those who were content to sit around
and wait to see how things played out
didn't.

13. Today, we still have the deep urge.

14. Only it's not always an urge to move
physically. But it's there.

15. Learning, creating, finding new ways to
express ourselves.

16. If we don't have SOME form of
forward momentum, it's easy to feel
lost, stuck and even like there's "no
point."

17. Especially today, when good jobs are
vanishing faster than ice cubes on a
summer sidewalk, it's hard to find your
place.

18. The good news is that any kind of
forward momentum will help.

19. Any kind of small project, exercise
program, personal financial goal is
better than just sitting around waiting
for something to happen.

20. You were put here to do something
great.

21. The purpose of your life is to find out
what that is.

22. Nobody is going to tell you.

23. Nobody is going to hold your hand.

24. Nobody is going to show you the way.

25. It's scary, it's risky, and it's anything
but guaranteed.

26. But taking bold action in the face of
uncertainty is the very juice of life.

27. The reward wouldn't be so sweet if it
was easy.

28. Since you're reading this now, you
must have SOME idea of your life's
dreams.

29. Your purpose.

30. Have you started?

31. Far into the future, when you've long
passed, what will you be remembered
for? What will your contribution be?

32. What will be your life's masterpiece?

33. You are the Hero of your life.
