Let's start a revolution

Happy Monday! It is a happy Monday isn't it? I don't mean the kind of Monday where you hit the snooze button twice before you finally drug yourself out of bed. Or the kind where you only showed up at your place of employement because you need to get paid. If that's how your day started then it probably isn't a  happy Monday...maybe "Ok Monday" is a better description. If that's how you'd describe today then it's time for you to join the revolution!

After I got off the phone with the 3rd friend this morning who really wasn't happy with the direction her life had taken, I thought, "This isn't coincidence that I'm having this conversation again. What can I do about it?" So I went into a major brainstorming session and I emerged convinced that somebody somewhere needed to start a revolution and it might as well be me.

I'm revolting against this false concept of life that you can't get paid for your passion. I'm taking a stand against the mentality that dreams are for kids and adults should just trudge through life doing the right thing. You know what the right thing is? TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS!

I'm passionate abou people living their dreams because I believe that God created every person with unique giftings, talents and personalities to fulfill purpose in the earth and that when we act in concert with God we create an amazing life for us while adding value to others. That my friend, is the life that we are created to live. The problem is that far too many have sold their dream for a paycheck. Now I know you need money to live so I'm not suggesting that you quit your job. I'm challenging you to shift your mindset. To think about how you could create or find a company that would allow you to be fulfilled while you get paid. Seems like a simple shift, right? Right! So do it and you'll be a part of the revolution too!

Where should you start? Ask yourself these questions..

Who am I?

What am I passionate about?

What is the legacy I want to leave behind?

If you still aren't sure then go on a Passion Quest. Take the next 14 days to notice what brings you pleasure, what infuriates you (often our purpose can be identified by what angers us), what makes you feel alive and what makes you feel like you are contributing. Write it down and start building from there.

Often people wonder if they deserve their dreams. When I have a better question "Does what you doing now, deserve the investment of your life?" Because everyday you're spending a day of life that can never be recovered! When you think about this way, you can see, you need join this revolution!
