Can I get a little honest right now?
What do you want?
Is there something you want to achieve but it scares you or you can’t imagine how you can make it happen?
Matter of fact, most find yourself doing everything you were told you “should do” only to realize that the place you are in isn’t what you wanted or imagined. Or it once was but now is just simply no longer big enough for your gift.
​
I know that is the exact place I found myself in years ago. It was 1993, when
I was in one of the greatest seasons of my life, by everyone else’s definition.
I had the job in Hollywood many people dream of. Shoot that I wished for!
However, what I realized is that, living “the dream” was becoming MY nightmare.
​
Now don't get me wrong working in Hollywood was GREAT! But what I
REALLY wanted was to somehow make a difference in the world.
​
I wanted to make a difference in the world...
Well in the midst of me feeling torn between what the world said I should
be or do and this desire deep in my soul, one of my friends asked me
to volunteer at a program at our church.
That night, something in me came ALIVE! I realized I was born to help
people define their purpose and live out their purpose focused lives.
I knew in that moment this is EXACTLY where I was meant to be and
I began to really listen to my soul.
It was that moment that shifted everything.. my whole being... and I knew I had to pursue this thing. It was in that moment that I found the Power of the ONE thing I was created to do in this world.
I found my life's calling!
Sure it was scary and I had no idea what I was doing but that rumble in my belly calling me to this work was bigger than anything I had ever felt. I knew at that moment it was time for me to GO GET IT!!!
What I have come to learn from that epiphany moment is that that rumble in my belly, that passion inside of me, could actually lead me to living a life I was born to live! It actually lead me to my calling! Plus making money while I did!
I also realized this was not just an epiphany moment for me, it was moment for every highly skilled professional that finds themself at a similar crossroad that I am now blessed to coach and teach!
The question is do you have the same bold, intense determination to go after the next level of you that is calling?
