“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
– Marianne Williamson

Within each one of us lies a calling to greatness. The problem is most of us never unleash it into the world. We hide from our greatness and get caught up in the mundane. We get distracted by trying make a living instead of designing the life we want to live. To this day, the graveyard remains the richest place on earth. Filled with unwritten books, unsung songs and unfulfilled dreams. In cemeteries all over the world, there lies infinite wealth gone to waste by the power of fear.
That changes today. With the birth of this new site, let the inaugural post be the creation of a new destiny for us all.
So what do I mean by a path to immortality? Obviously, I am not suggesting your body will live forever, but by embarking upon this path, your legend will. Your sprit will transcend the barriers of time and your story will be immortalized by history. This is not just to serve your own ego and sense of self worth. History only remembers those that have made a contribution to society. Those that have left a mark on the planet. This immortal list is meant to be a place to express your passions and live them so that as you let your light shine, you give others permission to do the same. This list is about serving a greater cause than yourself through the things you love to do and the person you choose to be.
If you haven’t already, fill out your email address in the box at the bottom of this post to read more about a few people who have done just that.
Everyone has their own path to immortality. It could be through mountaineering, engineering, speaking, writing, teaching, skydiving, whatever it may be, there is no right or wrong. Whatever your passions are, live those passions and share them with the world to inspire and unleash the infinite power of the human potential that lives within us all. Through your passions and your power, give others the means to live theirs.
To begin, I will share what I have distinguished as my path to immortality. I would love to hear all of yours as well. Share yours in the comments below and my request is that everyone who visits this page help support each other in walking our paths. Success is a team sport, NO ONE can do it alone. Soon, there will be forums and a social media network on this site to provide resources and support so that we may all charge forward on our respective paths. Until then, let this be the place to start sharing and building the community.

This is very inspirational and motivating I would love to come with you for that ride.
Thanks Jeff. Which ride are you interested in?
Actually if you can do the 27th point,”100 million people registered on my social media platform” and 60th point, “Create over 20 online products that help people live their life purpose and walk their path to immortality.” at your early age (before 50 years old).
It is easy for you to complete other 58 points.
Hi Greentea. That’s the goal. Work first on the things on my list that will give me the freedom to devote my time and energy to all the other things. One inch at a time…
What do you have on your list?
