the first is when you are born; the second is when
you discover why you were born.”

I had not always known that I was suppose to become a professional speaker. It became clear to me in my early 30’s that I had this “calling” or gift inside that wanted to speak and impact people’s lives for good. I did not know it was to be a motivational speaker at first but I knew it had to do with a becoming a speaker of some kind.
Did you ever notice how close design and destiny are? Your destiny is not just something that happens to you. You are its designer with interior motives.
I remember a time in my life when I was a marketer for a physician recruiting company. I was making more money than ever before, yet something was missing. I was reluctant
to change careers because I was over 40 years old, with daughters soon to be in college. For two more years I continued, trying to ignore the nagging of my conscience,
“Are you sure this is your calling? Is this what you were born to do?” When I could no longer ignore my spirit, I chose to pursue my passion. I wanted to have a motivational speaking career. That decision included giving up a steady salary and insurance benefits. That first year I made less than half of the prior year. Some of my friends questioned my choice. Even I questioned my choice.
Within two years, all that had changed. Today, I am living my dream. Both of my daughters are in
college. My work is “on purpose.” And I no longer haunting cries of a displaced spirit. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for,no wind is the right wind.”– Seneca
