It was only five days ago that I found myself admitting to some one that I hated where I was. Upon their recommendation, I started writing three pages of whatever I want in a journal every morning. In the beginning, entries consisted of how tired and uninspired I have felt... But towards the end of each section I found myself praying... for what it is I'm looking for. It began with energy. Then inspiration. Then courage.
And then in the most serendipitous way... I watched the Oprah finale. Oprah spoke about how we are all worthy of greatness. We all desire to be heard... to be validated." The universe speaks to us and it is our job to listen. "
Five days ago I was complaining about all the wasted talent I have. When I was younger, I spent ten years training in Martial Arts. I became a second degree black belt. I got bored with it and "gave it up". Drawing was also my LIFE as were comic books, until I got bored with them. Then in college I drastically changed my focus from ART to ACTING... graduated with a B.F.A. in Performing Arts. Unfortunately, I lost the passion for that as well. In moving to NYC I found work as a bar tender. It was exciting at first. I got to meet and work with people that are now some the the greatest and most influential people in my life. I fell madly in love NOT once but twice.
It's amazing what five days will do for you if you open your ears, your eyes, and your heart and you just listen. I have been blessed in so many ways. All of these passions are gifts that have been given to me. I see that now and I am en route to finding new ways in using them. (Check out my music videos on youtube.)
My hope for any one taking the time to read this is that you too realize that you are blessed and special and capable of accomplishing WHATEVER it is you are called to do... if you just open up and listen.
