" - Christopher Campbell , Director and Professor of Community, Environment, and Planning at the University Excerpt from Book FOREWORD The circumstances surrounding my first meeting with Jake Ducey illustrate some of the reasons why I wanted to write this foreword. It was 2013 and I was emceeing a fund-raising event in Los Angeles. The event was sold out and the ballroom was full. Someone had told Jake that I would be speaking there, so he bought a last-minute ticket in the hopes of meeting me. He was twenty years old and was about to publish his first book, Into the Wind , which he said was inspired by me. He drove two and a half hours to the event carrying a signed copy of his book for me. His sole intention was to introduce himself and give me the book. But the odds were slim considering how crowded the event was. Toward the end of the night I went to my seat for dinner. That was when Jake walked over to introduce himself. "Hi, Jack. I am Jake Ducey. I wrote this book and you inspired it," he said. "How did I inspire it?" I asked. "You say in your book The Success Principles that when someone says No, you say Next. And every time I was told I was too young to be an author, or when literary agents told me I needed more experience before they would represent me, I just kept saying Next, and I didnt quit. Now I am standing here with you, holding my book!" Jake said this with a zest for life I came to appreciate quickly. My face lit up with a smile. I could feel passion oozing out of him. I immediately welcomed him and introduced my wife. While the waiters served dinner at my table, Jake and my wife chatted. Coincidentally, his mom and my wife went to the same high school. But what was more of a coincidence was that in that sold-out event, where there seemed to be no empty seats, the chair to my left was somehow empty. Once the food was placed in front of us, I asked Jake if he was going to sit there and enjoy the plate of food at the empty seat next to me. He said he was so excited he hadnt noticed that the chair was empty! What are the chances? What are the odds that out of a five-hour event, where there seemed to be no empty seats, Jake got the urge to come introduce himself at the exact moment the waiter was coming to serve dinner at my table--and that the person next to me had left early? How is it possible that the opportunity for us to connect happened so perfectly? I believe it was possible because of Jakes belief. He says he didnt know "how" he would meet me--he just knew it was possible that wed become friends. A few months later, my wife and I invited him to my birthday party. That evening he asked me, "Jack, what do I need to know in life to live my dreams?" "Write it down, make it happen," I told him. He sat there, hoping I would explain myself in more detail. "Jake, you have within you the ability to achieve anything you desire, because if you didnt, you wouldnt be able to have the desire in the first place," I said. A few months after my birthday, Jake wrote me to let me know he followed my advice, and that Tarcher/Penguin would be publishing his new book, The Purpose Principles , which was inspired by our chat and by my book The Success Principles. As I have become older, one of my passions is inspiring and empowering young people to live their highest vision through the Success Principles seminars I conduct. One of those Success Principles is "Ask for What You Want." I believe that everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask for it. Just as Jake illustrates in this book, your dreams arent out of reach, your fears and limiting beliefs dont have to stop you, and youre never too young or too old to live more confidently or to make a difference. You are fully capable of waking up every day to a more productive and meaningful life by simply choosing to apply these principles! Jake considers me his mentor--a role I relish. Just as important, I consider him an inspiration in my life. Jake is such a radiant and inspirational being because he has chosen to live a life committed to the full expression of his unlimited potential. And because of that, he has the ability to inspire others to live their dreams, too. I am confident that through this book Jake will now inspire you to achieve your most heartfelt dreams, and by so doing, contribute to a more equitable, just, and compassionate world. -- Jack Canfield coauthor of The Success Principles and the Chicken Soup for the Soul series A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR From the beginning of time, billions of people have dreamed about living meaningfully. Some even dream about changing the world, or at least their own one. Though most of us do dream, few of us live our dreams. Many of us simply cant uncover how to do so. The ability to live our dreams is the great mystery. Why do some people seem so skillful and impassioned, while others cant step out of the choking monotony of an ordinary existence? This book was written to answer this question and others, including: How can we live a meaningful life? How does one become more successful, confident, and fulfilled? What do the worlds most successful, happy, and influential people have in common? What common attitudes, traits, beliefs, and strategies do those whove marked human history share? How can one simply live with more joy? In this book youll find common principles, characteristics, beliefs, and stories that have helped some of the greatest contributors and achievers of the twenty-first century. These ideas can be used to improve your internal world as well as the world around you. Each and every chapter provides a stimulus to help you find a deeper meaning in your life, find passion in simple things (such as the beauty of the sky), and even find ways to alter the course of human history. While in the process of uncovering these keys, youll find it easy to dismiss any feelings of doubt that you may have had when starting this book. If youve ever tried and failed, had difficulties that kept you from getting what you want, or found that your progress has been stunted by illness or physical ailments, these stories may prove to be the very thing youll need to overcome your obstacles. If you are committed to putting these principles to work, youll no longer see yourself as anything less than those mentioned throughout the book. I could tell you how youll know when youve reached this state of inner strength, but that would deprive you of much of the value that youll receive when you make your own discoveries. And if youre thinking, "I am not meant to live the life I love," or, "I cant change the world," then please consider this question: "If not you , then who ?" Its important to note that education and age have nothing to do with your ability to make an impact. A college dropout named Steve Jobs applied these principles to alter the course of human history with his technological inventions and the creation of Apple. High school dropout and founder of Virgin, Richard Branson, used these principles to build one of the largest business enterprises in history. A degreeless Malcolm X used the knowledge herein to find the strength, clarity, and know-how to alter the course of human history and bring about greater racial equality. And Mother Teresa, an uneducated (at least by formal standards) woman from a small town in Macedonia, also lived these principles and transformed the consciousness of the Western world. Youll find their stories and lessons throughout the book alongside many others. My goal is to show you that a deeply fulfilling life charged with purpose, contribution, and success is obtainable by applying the knowledge learned herein. The subtitle of this book is How to Draw More Meaning into Your Life. I chose the word draw because it has a double meaning and it is often associated with artists. Drawing is a creative act that requires vision, imagination, originality, dedication, and patience. It is a perfect metaphor for the way we need to approach life. We must apply our artistic skills to get the most out of each day. An artist doesnt stop at seeing a vision or having an idea in their mind--they take it further and work to turn what theyve seen in their imagination into reality. This is the same skill set that needs to be developed in those who want to live an authentic life of their own creation. How do I know that this works? Youll be answering that question on your own before youre done with this book. You may find the answer in the first chapter, or perhaps on the last page. To you loving your life, Jake Ducey INTRODUCTION February 7, 2013 He was standing with a beautiful, tan young woman when I saw him. He had a big smile on his face. I could see his friendly blue eyes glint in the warm San Diego sun. Thats when he opened his arms to give me a welcoming hug. He was walking out the door of the Counter, a burger joint next door to Jimbos Natural Foods in Encinitas, San Diego, where I was going to grab some groceries. I had just parked my car and was walking a few hundred feet along the sidewalk to the store. "Jake, congratulations on your book! I cant wait to get a copy. You inspire me!" he said with enthusiasm. He made me feel so good about myself when he said it. So good that I told him to wait there on the sidewalk while I went back to my car to grab him a copy that I had in my trunk. I signed it for him: Dear Vic, With love for doing what you love while youre alive. Love, Jake We gave each other a hug. I could tell by his genuine excitement for the book that hed read it soon, perhaps even th Details ISBN0399172645 Author Jack Canfield Short Title PURPOSE PRINCIPLES Pages 256 Language English ISBN-10 0399172645 ISBN-13 9780399172649 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY 158.1 Year 2015 Publication Date 2015-01-02 Imprint TarcherPerigee Subtitle How to Draw More Meaning into Your Life Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2015-01-02 NZ Release Date 2015-01-02 US Release Date 2015-01-02 UK Release Date 2015-01-02 Publisher Penguin Putnam Inc Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
