Your Calling - Your Passion

-



It always starts out with "What is the one thing that you do so well and enjoy doing so much that you would gladly do it for FREE?"

 I have heard this phrase a million times and totally understood it. But the journey to find my passion has taken most of my life. I can say with a certainty that my passion is teaching life skills to young artists and the marginalized. Some people know exactly what they are meant to do in life at an early age. But like most people it took much life experience, study and discovery before stumbling on my gifts even though all areas envolved were gifts I possessed as a child.  Funny how that works out.


Do you struggle between service to others and the need to make money and earn a living? I certainly did.

 HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

 Go back in time and embrace the feelings and energy you experienced when you first made the decision "This Is What I Am Meant To Do!" This was way back when you had no idea how any of it would ever come to pass but knew without any doubt that you had stumbled onto something great. Latch hold of those memories and emotions then use them to keep on track and remain motivated. Drawing from an emotional past event and reliving it in your head will keep you focused on your dream and the WHY behind it all.
QUESTIONS To Ask Yourself:

 Why is this 'thing' so important to me?

 What level of excellence do I expect of myself?

 Who is my accountability partner?

 Am I afraid of work?

 Am I afraid of failure?

 Is my dream worth building into something great? If so, then WHY?

As the World Changes I Remain Flexible

The following is from my Ebook  Now It's My Turn  on Amazon. Setting Goals in Detail The wisest man who ever lived, King Solomon, said, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18 KJV). Gaining a clear and precise vision brings life to our innermost being. Having no vision at all, not knowing the direction we should take, and having no dreams takes life from us because we have nothing of any consequence to live for. Basically, find your purpose in life, and you will truly have a life worth living. Some people know exactly what they want and are meant to do from a very young age. Others need to focus and experience different situations both positive and negative. I found out from trial and error and from seeking God what my personal mission in life is. Perhaps your journey is similar. Your purpose in life could be to run for public office, or it could be to raise responsible children who will go out into the world and make a difference. It could be nothing more th

The Good Doctor - Pt 1 When we last left our weary travelers, they had just received the worst news an exhausted and exacerbated traveler could get especially in front of witnesses. CREDIT CARD DECLINED!!! With veins popping and expletives flowing the good Dr. Cut-Me-Up was about ready to Stroke Out! But wait...Mrs. Cut-Me-Up thinking quickly whips out her iPhone as if it’s a Walther PPK and she’s been given a license to kill...or rather charge. Yes, that’s right the Apple Farm Inn accepts Apple Pay. (I’m willing to bet most of our staff doesn’t know this). Quicker than you can say Apple Dumpling their room was secured. With a little help from a House Man, the couple, their luggage along with their wine glasses arrived at his personal favorite room 300. Barely in a seat the phone rings. “ Ah what is it now ” growls the doctor.                                                                   “ Hello, this is Claudia the ni

A Day in the Life of an Event Staff Employee or, What Ever Happened to the Other Guys?

The following is my best recollection of the North Hollywood Shoot Out  February 28, 1997 This posting of "A Day In The Life" flows in the same vain as the  A Day In The Life Of An Airport Shuttle Driver . Its all about my life chapter during the 1990's while earning a living in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, California.  But this time, rather than the Northridge Earthquake we're on the Universal Studios hill watching the Bank of America in North Hollywood. Wow what a day. photo courtesy of Personlliberty.com First, let me begin by adamantly stating that although memory fades, I know what I saw...they did not catch everyone. Unlike my piece on the Northridge Earthquake this is not so much the telling of a story as it is an observation with a question. One of many places of employment I had in the 1990's was for an event security company hired by at the time known as the Universal Amphitheatre at Universal Studios . It was actually a coo
