PASSION ANd PURPOSE<br />

on the hamster wheel, spinning furiously. “Down time” is a rare luxury.<br />

We race around at a frantic pace, and we still cannot catch up. In a society<br />

frenzied by this pace, those of us who spend our time doing exactly<br />

what we want to are truly blessed.<br />

Every person comes into this world with unique talents and gifts. I<br />

believe we each have a divine purpose in life, aligned with our talents.<br />

Our true work utilizes our talents to contribute to the greater<br />

good of the world. It is our job to discover our highest mission in<br />

life, and then find a way to make that our daily work.<br />

How can you tell if people are living their divine purposes?<br />

If they are not engaged in their chosen work, they are dragging themselves<br />

through life. Their misery is readily apparent.<br />

On the other hand, when people live their true purposes, they ride veins<br />

of energy. They are excited, passionate and energetic, because they are<br />

pursuing the causes that matter most deeply to them, in alignment with<br />

their values. They are “following the energy,” and they are on fire with<br />

their work.<br />

If you seek them out, you will find shining stars all around you who<br />

are living their purposes, and therefore bettering the world. Surround<br />

yourself with these people! We become who we hang around, so spend<br />

time with positive-minded people who use their gifts to contribute to<br />

the world.<br />

As I move through my day-to-day life, I cross paths regularly with<br />

fortunate folks who are pursuing their passions while contributing to<br />

society. In other words, they are living their true purposes.<br />

For starters, I am endlessly grateful that I lead a life built around my<br />

passions. I am a mother and a wife, and these two roles make me happiest<br />

of all. Our family includes lots of four-legged critters, too, who<br />

bring us endless joy. We are very active in animal rescue, fulfilling a<br />

deep-seated desire to help animals. I am an artist and a writer, and I<br />

work on creative projects that engage and thrill me. I love to learn,<br />

and my graduate school studies ensure that I continue to grow in my<br />

creative pursuits. I am thankful to live an enriched life, surrounding<br />

myself with the people, critters and activities I love.<br />
