There are some questions that have the potential of changing our lives. Questions that get a hold of us and continue nagging and pushing us for a lifetime. Regardless of how hard we try, we cannot seem to answer these questions. I have been laboring under just such a question for years and now I give it to you.
Will you be significant?”
Will you be significant? Will you lead a life of significance or will you spend your time simply Hangin’ Round The Barrel?”
I have come to believe that the abuse of drugs and alcohol and other life-hindering substances and behaviors come from leading a life of insignificance. In other words, how we choose to live precedes the life that we will experience.
There are successful individuals and profitable organizations that spend their lives just hangin’. Understand that the condition of your bank account does not determine whether you are spending your time just hangin’ round the barrel. You could be wealthy and still missing the mark for your life. There must be more to life than getting things and impressing others. So if it is not success we are after … What should we really pursue in life?

About the Book
“I’m still trying to decide who I want to be when I grow up.” I heard this statement one Saturday morning at a local meeting. The disturbing part was the individual who made the statement was in his sixties! He had completed 30 years of his life serving the government and had started a new career and yet had never decided what he was supposed to be doing. I think part of the problem was a lack of personal leadership. In all his years he had never applied the personal leadership strategies and tactics that allow the great among us to move through their lives with a great deal of purpose.
Leadership has been defined as getting others to do those things they would not normally or naturally want to do. Individual leadership is getting yourself to do those things you would not normally or naturally want to do. Once we learn and apply the same personal leadership habits that have been used by statesmen, generals and leaders of all walks of life throughout history, we find that life becomes more challenging but also more fulfilling.
