I came across an old folder on my computer that contained some material I had written about projects I wanted to create. I thought I would just post them here for fun. (unedited versions).
At some point in our life we question why we are doing the work that we do and most times it is about not being fulfilled ,alive and passionate about what we do. So often we choose a career for ourselves based on every other desire than our own, and as a result our passions and dreams are left behind as we make our way along a career path that is founded on looking good and pleasing others. Now while I know that this is not the case for all people it is for most. I have a program that I will be beginning next year at an elementary school in St Pete. The program is call ' Young People Choose' and it focuses on a child's dream or passion ; how to discover it and create it into a career. Then as they move into adulthood they can work toward their dream living a life of passion, purpose and power.

I want to offer members a FREE teleclass each month around a topic that I am finding is very sought after in the career world. Essentially members sign up with xxx.com because they are looking for a job. There are some excellent tools available to them for resume building, interviewing, goal setting etc. I want to add another tool to your selection one that allows a person the opportunity to discover what they truly want to do with their life. We all had dreams and desires of what we wanted to do with our lives and very few of us actually followed them. I offer a short teleclass called 'The Trip'. It was created around four distinctions; having a fulfilling and lasting career; passion, purpose and power. Discover what you are passionate about (so many people do not have a clue then sit with frustration and disappointment), your passion will fuel your purpose and this will unleash your power. Can you imagine what it would be like to be doing something that you are REALLY passionate about? Then what it would be like for the people (fellow employees, customers) to work with you. There are the pioneers out there who knew that building a career around 'The Trip' was what was needed for them to be happy and fulfilled. One pioneer that comes to mind is Richard Branson of VIRGIN, another is Howard Schultz of STARBUCKS and let's not forget our GOOGLE friends.

I can relate to your blog...when i was little i was adament i would be one of three things - a teacher, singer or actress...alas none of these aspirations materialized. I would sit for hours and imagine myself on the stage with hundreds of adouring fans watching and cheering me on...perhaps it was the voice inside of me demanding attention. After leaving school money seemed to play a more important part in my life and my "dreams" took a back seat. I ended up starting a famiy rather early in life and once again the dreams where locked away. Upon reflection however i have come to the conclusion that whilst i would love to have been a singer, this would never have come to fruition, firstly you need to have a relativly decent voice - which i do not. I sing in the shower and around my house, my audience are the people that are here and the ones that have passed. Acting and teaching is something we ALL do at some stage in our life. I adapt myself to suit the situation i am in - is this not a form of acting? As for teaching well i may not have a classroom full of aspiring minds, but i have three beautiful children that look up to me for their life lessons. In closing, our dreams and aspirations change and we has the keepers of our destiny change with them.
