22
elcome to I AM Issue 22!
Such a powerful number, the number 2.
And, to have it doubled, well, this issue is destined to pack some
serious punch. In numerology the number 22 is considered a master
number. The ultimate survivor, an extremely resilient force, an overwhelming desire to achieve something extraordinary. I have to say,
that sums up the I AM motive precisely and perhaps even the driving force behind it.

When I look back over the years of I AM, I stay focused
on the great things I have discovered and the skills I have
picked up along the way. These things, and these things
alone, have been my reward. So many of us want to start
our ‘own thing’. We want to be the next Lorna Jane, Oprah
Winfrey or Mark Bouris. We want to take our ideas and
effortlessly turn them into successful businesses, providing us with endless financial and emotional reward.
Sadly however, this is not the reality for most of us
who choose to venture into the small business game.
My advice to all dream-goers out there, make sure
you love what you do, because starting your ‘own
thing’ comes with many risks and sometimes hard
to see reward. Make sure when you lay in bed at
night, you rest peacefully in the knowledge that
what you have done has improved your life in
some way – even if very small.
The number 22 represents a ‘survivor’, the
desire to do something extraordinary.
And that is me. This is my ‘I AM’, and I
know it is millions of other human beings out there also. We all have an inbuilt desire to do something extraordinary – it’s called purpose. And, doing something extraordinary
doesn’t mean moving mountains or saving the world. To feel like
something is extraordinary you simply have to feel it with your heart.
You all know that feeling.
Whether it’s completing an important project or even giving birth,
these things are ‘your extraordinary’ because they were tasks
that manifested in your heart. They are tasks that made you
feel like you have purpose.
Nobody is ordinary. Nobody! You simply have to choose the
tasks that ‘float your boat’ and you will be successful in
living that extraordinary life you truly desire - a life lived
with purpose … a purpose that is unique to you.
What floats your boat?
