In church this morning, the pastor's sermon title was, "What Would You Do If You only Had One Month to Live? Pretty profound question. This question could also be posed in a situation when something difficult comes into our lives like being laid off or having a serious illness or a variety of catastrophic winds of change blowing through our lives. It gives me pause...., it strips away all the frivolous things we might be doing to keep us busy.
Are you living your passion? or are you saying, "someday...one day...I'll do ....." Do you even know what your passion is? Pay attention to what makes your heart beat faster, gives you energy, breathes fire into your belly. You have been shaped with a very unique gift that turns you on. Maybe you are in a job that isn't exactly what you want, but is there something that you could be doing that would fulfill part of that passion? I've always loved to speak, so I began as an educator but later after I was home raising my children, I continued as a leader in my church teaching others how to lead, then later in Corporate America, I found ways to teach through doing inservices. Today I have my own company speaking and coaching people to find their passion and learning ways to bounce back from difficult situation and have found a way to live my dream-My way. Are you surviving or thriving and living your dream. If not now, when?
Kitty,
I'm living my dream, and thriving. It's wonderful to be able to trust in yourself and take the risk.
And, by the way, your work must be in great need at this time. Keep getting the word out. With more than 500,000 people losing their jobs last month, that means there must be tons out there who could benefit from your input.
Keep getting the word out.
And I'll look for you on Twitter.
All my best,
