consideration of the cost, but just the fact that they offered it appealed to
my ego again. So, I took the training in another town, because I didn’t
want anyone in my business to know that I was doing it. I had a pretty
good experience.
I took a second training because my wife signed up for it. I wasn’t
going to. In that training I had unexplainable experiences. I had altered
consciousness. I was seeing through solid things. I found a missing person.
I found my heart again. I found energy I didn’t know was there. It was
amazing.
I started volunteering for the company and I helped create the
first training they did in Eugene, Oregon. I put 60 people in that training
in about a month. I don’t know if that’s what got their attention or not. I
was assisting in a training and the trainer came back and handed me an
envelope and said, “Here, use these and go down and talk to Handley.”
I said, “Who’s Handley?”
He said, “Handley is the president of Life Spring.”
“Why would I want to talk to the president?”
“Talk to him about working for us,” he said.
“Why would I want to work for you? I own six businesses. I
don’t have enough time for those and they are bigger than your business.”
But in the back of my mind I was thinking this is a lot more
valuable than what I’m doing. This is serving, this is peace, this is love,
this is how to have a better life, this is everything they were trying to
teach in church but didn’t.
So I flew to San Francisco, and I ended up working for Life Spring.
Three months later, I closed my businesses, moved to Seattle, Washington
and within a week I was in front of the room doing trainings, and I’m
still doing it.

If you could give advice to those who are still searching for their
life’s purpose, what would it be?

It’s simple, but not necessarily easy. It’s the eternal advice that has been
used for millenniums. Follow your heart. Be true to yourself. Follow
your bliss. But that’s not easy because it requires great courage. It requires
risk. It requires what I call faith steps, stepping into the unknown with
zero guarantees and no certainty. It only works if you do it 100%,
completely detached, and all along you have to learn life lessons.
Surrender, detachment, cooperation, enthusiasm, letting go, focus, and
all that’s in the process. At some point, it shows up.
