As a part of TLC Book Tours I had the opportunity to read and review Tim Daniel’s new book, The Pursuit of Nobility.  As the author describes his book, it’s about liberation.  It’s about a personal journey to free yourself from the massive amount of people who are simply sustaining society, and join those who are pushing society forward.  Tim describes the Nobility as problem solvers, creators, and seekers of a greater challenge.  Here at Graduated And Clueless I write blog posts about personal development, growth, and topics beyond the simple job search.  The Pursuit of Nobility closely aligns with my mission as it addresses a higher calling in life, beyond maintenance, above the crowd, and into a whole new world where the Nobles cause real world change.

One of the most fundamental questions in life, and especially important to recent and clueless grads, is why?  Why am I here?  And if I ever figure that out, how will I achieve what I am supposed to?  Tim Daniel addresses these topics head on in a way I have never heard before.  The calling of the Nobility is not for everyone, but if it’s yours, you have your work cut out for you.  His book intertwines fiction with commentary as he address the journey of a Nobleman and his pursuit of significance.  It’s an interesting story that personifies the journey and provides a highly realistic view of the obstacles, difficulties, and ultimate glory of the Nobility.

Personally, the idea of the Nobility really resonated with me.  I have always held the view that my life now is a training ground for a future battle, one in which I will have a higher calling and ultimate purpose.  Let’s get real, there’s a reason I started Graduated And Clueless and there will be a reason I someday move on to something even greater.  I don’t mind knowing that, in fact, I accept and enjoy the fact that my work now is temporary and eventually I will pursue a new challenge that will allow me to grow even more, both personally and professionally.

I find that Apple’s commercial from the ’90s really holds true to the Nobility.

Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones,
We see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
They can change the world,
Are the ones who do.
