WHAT IT MEANS TO BE PART OF
Quick Overview
In January 2014, Goodie Nation Founder Joey Womack participated in the inaugural Hive Global Leaders program for social entrepreneurs. The 3-day program focused on intersecting a purpose-driven life with business, and greatly influenced the culture of the current Goodie Nation community.
We hope to create a Goodie Nation community where everyone is aligning their life’s purpose with their everyday actions. We aim to create jedis.
The following are the most impactful quotes from the Hive program.

The Spiritual Roots of Purpose
Your purpose is your dharma.
dharma (n.).
Your unique gift to the world.
Your calling.
Your purpose.
Creating Your Life’s Purpose
There are two types of people:
Living A Purpose-Driven Life
“The common denominator among every highly driven and successful person I’ve ever met, regardless of field, is that they have committed their goals to writing and created for themselves a purpose-driven life.”
-Author Unknown
The Secret of Happiness
“The secret of happiness is simple: find out what you truly love to do and then direct all of your energy towards doing it. If you study the happiest, healthiest, most satisfied people of our the world, you will see that each and every one of them has found their passion in life and spent their days pursuing it.”
-Robin Sharma, Author
Coming Alive
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
-Howard Thurman, Minister/Civil Rights Leaders
Considering Your Highest Purpose
“People are not really afraid of dying; they’re afraid of not ever having lived, not ever having deeply considered their life’s purpose, and not ever having deeply stepped into that purpose and at least tried to make a difference in the world.”
-Joseph Jaworkski, Author
Becoming More Than A Master
“Autonomous people working toward mastery perform at high levels. But those who do so in the service of some greater objective can achieve even more. The most deeply motivated people - not to mention those who are most productive and satisfied - hitch their desires to a cause larger than themselves.”
-Daniel Pink, Author
What Is A Jedi?
Jedi (n.)
“A highly competent, super-connected, and deeply compassionate soul & systems thinker, working at the highest levels of societal structuring, whose passion has been fully unleashed toward achieving an identified deeply meaningful mission that awakens them with extraordinary focus and immense energy daily.”
Dancing to Your Own Drum
“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.”
-E.E. Cummings, Poet
Avoiding The Vortex of Mediocrity
Most people never create their purpose. Instead, they get sucked into vortex of passionless mediocrity. Don’t let this be you.
