Way before I became of age, seven years old that is, I always knew that I wanted to help people. In fact, I wanted to be a Doctor, a Healer, a Someone that will make other people’s lives better with and by my presence, whatever it took, in the NOW and in the ever-after. Kind of a strange thing for a child to want. Yes, I was only 7 years old and I already knew all of that and God knows it took me more than a little while to get my head wrapped around it.
The part I did NOT know was how to execute it. Heck, I did not even know what that meant at the time, other than I had this deep desire to create an action plan and put it to work.
Little by little, my leadership inclinations kicked-in, and I started to recruit different friends from the neighborhood. Mind you, some were younger, 6 or less, some were older 7 or 8. I remember my Mom being horrified at the amount of influence I seemed to have over these children. However, I never saw it as “influence” on others. I simply saw it as “collaboration.” I saw it as a job that needed to be done and someone had to do it.
So what was the JOB? Bringing kids in the community together to conspire and inspire about who did we really want to be when we grew up? It used to drive our parents nuts. Then, a more defined job started to evolve, which was that of helping others help themselves. All of the sudden, it was no longer a JOB, it was a PASSION.
We were kids, we had no idea what we would turn out to be, however, we all had a very clear view about our deep desires of being in the service of others as we would be in the service of our own destiny. The thought of it alone was exciting, it was also overwhelming. Remember, we were still 7 years old.
Now I can tell you with complete certainty that you are here for a reason. This is a subject not open for doubtful thinking. Embrace it, so that you can understand the importance of your living your life out-loud. You are not existing, you are living a life well-lived. And so from that point on, we continue on this gorgeous path, we call LIFE!
If ever in doubt, remember…. you were 7 once!
Much love and success,
Ali

Ali,
That is just amazing! Not so many people are lucky enough to have that passion or even know what their passion is. I didn’t find mine until about eight years ago!
Thank you Nancy. Now you know why I call myself a Passionista and my FB page is all about passion. It took me a while though to put it into practice, but what a ride! 🙂
