Make 'Someday' Happen Today
Here's what it takes to implement your big idea in 10 minutes a day.

Aristotle observed that every living organism has an inner force, a vitality that propels that organism to be fulfilled. He called that state of being entelechy.

Everyone has an entelechy, a vital force that is yearning to be expressed.  The entelechy of an acorn, for example, is to be an oak, and given the right environment and nutrition, that's what it will be.

Try as we might, we can't turn the acorn into a pine or a willow. Our entelechy is uniquely our own and is encoded in our very being. Essentially, our entelechy is who we were born to be.

Unfortunately, many of us are busy trying to turn our acorns into pine trees, and we don't even know it. We try, struggle and fight for success, getting only more trying and struggling and fighting as a result.

When we can know our entelechy, and make our thoughts, intentions and actions line up with that vitality, we find that we struggle less and enjoy more, achieving marvelous results along the way.

As I was searching on the internet for stories about successful entrepreneurs, I came across this story that was very inspiring.

Bob Williamson, the 61 year old founder of the $26 million software company Horizon Software International, is the perfect example of how even when we reach our lowest point in life, it is not impossible to rise up and make something great happen.

From Junkie to Software Success
