Living an authentic life...

Living an authentic life...most people want to, many people don't. I'm talking about a life that has utilizes your true gifts and talents, and you performing at exemplary levels! We all have certain core traits, qualities, talents, needs, and desires. We all have our own unique purpose in the world. Just as all snowflakes are designed differently, so are we! I chose to be an executive of organizational and leadership development. Many people ask me why I keep at it when the economy gets bad, it's always the first jobs to get cut. I do it because I love it. It's my passion and it brings excitement to my life when I see someone else get an "aha" moment and learn and grow. I love sharing knowledge, I love reading books, research, and then bringing it all to life. I don't just talk theory...I live it.

I decided to start the journey of my own business...because it just seems to fit at this point in my life. As I took the first nervous steps to really commit to this journey it was with much thought and deliberation! I had my naysayers, but in my heart, I feel this is the right path and destination. As soon as I found my web designer and started putting the pieces together to begin I found an enormous energy that uplifted me. I get up at 5 AM and begin my day excited about the possibilities. I have a huge market to draw from...it's every human being that walks on the face of this planet. We are all looking for extraordinary lives...most won't push themselves to go find it though. They settle for the status quo, the easy path...and then wonder why they live in such a gray existence! Not living up to your potential or living a life that is not authentic to who you have been created to be by the God of the universe leaves you feeling incomplete. You will find yourself wondering if you should do something different in your life, but many still do nothing. It's easier to live in the status quo and have feelings of restlessness, then to make a change.

Are you living a life you want or are you living up to everyone's expectations of who you should be? Are you sidelined and not in the game of life because you are living a life that you don't really fit into? How many people become accountants, lawyers, pharmacists...for the money, instead of for the love of the profession? How succesful can they be when they are working at least 8 hrs a day that they don't enjoy?

In my doctorate program I had to write a paper on my authentic self...taking me back to my childhood to the point I am today. It was eye opening how I followed my own personal path to get where I am today. I didn't sell out for more money...I stayed the path of what I enjoyed doing. I am fortunate and blessed that I have had the journey I have had, because as I watch so many others struggle, I know that it is because they are doing things they hate for the status quo of money. Only one life to live...and to live it dreading it everyday to bring home a big paycheck has to feel like a gray day everyday!

When I am putting together leadership or organizational development programs together I feel alive...I can feel the energy and inspiration swell up inside of me and bubble over into my work. I love it!!!

I hope you are loving your work, your job,and your career... I hope you have found the same color existence of the rainbow that I have found. If not, you might want to explore why not...and do some hard work to get your life congruent with your authentic self!!! All it takes is a willing spirit and the desire to see it through. A commitment...a decision to make changes that become critical to living a life filled with joy and passion! Trust me..it is possible to change, to find out what makes you feel alive and living with maximum impact every day! If you want and need help to work it through...just call or send me an email.
