One thing I value in people is their extraordinary ability to rise above difficult conditions and do things bigger than they ever imagined. We often play small and teach the next generation to do the same thing when we do not know how valuable we really are. Now before you click away, think that this is just another post about 'positive thinking', I ask you to continue reading.
Whether it's fear, doubts, worries or other negative thoughts ... these thoughts will have a big impact on our self-esteem and who we ultimately become.
I recently interviewed CNN's Talking Talk Host Host, Raven Blair Davis, and the interview must be one of the most inspiring for me personally. Of course it seems to fit the description of almost everyone I interviewed lately, but this woman really amazed me during this call. It's not because his story is in the hospital with his dying mother, it's not because of his extraordinary career choice and how he helps others achieve their dreams. More than a month ago Raven asked me to be in his new book for 2010, which I agreed to, but that was not the reason. There is one specific reason I asked him for an interview.
Somewhere during our conversation, he mentioned that he brought his 13-year-old grandson to work with him. When I asked why he stated that it was important for him that his self-esteem remained strong, and for him to know that he did not have to go to jobs 9 to 5 he did not like if he did not I, and taught him that he could build any life what he wants with what God gave him if he can believe it. THIS is the reason I interviewed Raven.
Do you see how to take his grandson to work and share insights with him about self-esteem, extraordinary beliefs, and the belief that he can do whatever his hands and feet can do to change his entire future?
Now reading this may not have the same effect on you, but I will tell you that Raven's spirit produces great fruit when you listen to his lecture. He gives directly from the heart and this is the kind of person I want to continue to bring to this community for you.
Raven talks about how to get from point A to point B and how to make money is only a side benefit to find your true excitement and create value from your kitchen table if that's all you have to do. If you want the full version you can click here to get a replay but I really can't sleep after this interview is finished.
I feel like I can climb any mountain ... jumping tall buildings in one bond ... whatever my poor husband starts wondering if I plan to stay up all night to sew a red robe for myself.
So let me say ... if you are someone who is looking for a new career, then you have several options. You can choose to move forward, be inspired, seek pleasure, and maybe change the lives of others in the world or, you can do what you always do and get what you always get without choosing a different path. Whatever it is, it's very important to be happy with your choice.
So I want to encourage you to continue ~ Be Inspired ...
