Declaration of Inspiration
Rights without practice are like ice without cold. Over time each will melt away.
We are at a critical point in humanity. And, if our world ends, it will not be because of lack of knowledge. It will be because of lack of inspiration to use that knowledge.
If it our god-given right to life and liberty, then it is our god-given duty to, at the least, use these rights, and at the most, use our abilities to the pursuit of a massive, meaningful vision that transcends oneself. Extreme Entrepreneurship is for those who wish to passionately pursue the latter.

Hi dear.. just wanted to know will you ever come to India. I have been reading your articles for such a long time. Will i ever get a chance to talk to you face to face.
Michael,
From this highly abstract entry I have some questions that may be useful for many of us.
1)What makes this a critical point in humanity?
2)If lack of inspiration is one of our biggest barriers what are some of the best ways to become inspired and inspire others?
3)What is your massive, meaningful vision and how did you develop it?
Thanks for your book and all that you do. Your book has and will continue to be a valuable resource.
Sincerely,
Chris McBride M.Ed
I hope that I will go to India this year or the next!! Do you of any venues that I can approach for speaking?
By critical point in humanity, I was referring to the fact that the world's environment is being destroyed and technology is making it possible to destroy the world with fewer and fewer resources.
There are so many ways to become inspired. One way is to find what inspires you and to surround yourself with it whether it be via people, books, movies, magazines, etc. Another way is to puruse your passions and find a way to earn money from it. Another way is to learn how to transform non-passions into passions.
By massive, meaningful vision, I meant this is a something unique to each individual. Each individual can plan, prioritize, and pursue their own vision.
