Summary

Hi, everyone. Mike Wolf is here again. Today, I’m coming to you from the island of Vanuatu which is in the South Pacific. Some of you might remember it from the Survivor show a number of years back. My purpose of coming here isn’t just for a vacation, but I’m here with some entrepreneurs with the mind of giving back.

In other words, we are here to give these people water filters because a lot of them don’t have access to safe, drinkable water. They have to drink contaminated water. We’ve raised some money, and we brought a bunch of filters here to have positive impacts on their lives.

Right now, my friends are showing them how to use it. I’m going to go back there in a second and help out with that, but I just thought I’d take a quick video and I hope to inspire other people with it. Back in the old days, I used to have every toy you can imagine. Having those toys would light me up for a week or two. It’s like a drug where you have your toy and all of a sudden; it doesn’t really excite you anymore. Then, you need a bigger and better toy to make you excited and happy again.

You get on this vicious circle where you’re always chasing material things and spending money when you don’t have to and living off credit cards like so many people do. What I’ve learned over the years is that giving back and making a difference lights me up in a way. It makes me feel really good. I get to mix what I love such as traveling, see the world, and give back. Trust me, later on; I will be hanging out at the pool and the beach, going snorkeling. You can have fun while doing it too, so it doesn’t have to be all work for having an excellent balance is really important.

I hope you’re doing well wherever you’re, and I invite you to figure out different ways through which you can make a difference on this planet. If there’s anything I can do to help you achieve that, let me know because I would love to enable as many people as possible and change this world for the better. I need to back out to my friends. I hope you’re also having a good time wherever you happen to be as of this moment. We’ll see you all soon. Take care.
