Rediscover Your Authentic Self To Feel Alive!

When we were children our imaginations soared with countless ideas of what we wanted to be when we grew up. The sky was the limit! Some of us imagined traveling into space, putting out fires, or saving people’s lives.

Others were passionate about dancing, music, acting, painting, or other form of expressive art. And then there were those who loved to build things or figure out what made things work. Many of us were inspired to become teachers because one of our own made a lasting impression.

These were passions in the raw!  

Passions we were automatically drawn to without any preconceived expectations, assumptions, or analyses. We were young and our dreams were attainable, within our reach just as our favorite toys were.

As we got a little older we couldn’t help but be influenced by family members, friends, and teachers who “knew” us best, and therefore knew “what was best” for us. Although intentions were good, we were young and impressionable and thus allowed their beliefs about what was best for us to steer us away from the raw passions we had embraced not so long before.  They gave us unsolicited advice, much of which stemmed from their own fears.

• You can’t do that, you won’t make any money.
• You’d never make it in that field, the competition is too steep.
• That’s not a job for a boy/girl. What would people think?
• You’re not attractive enough. You’re too fat, too dark, too different.
• That’s too dangerous.
• You’re not smart enough. Do something better suited for someone like you.

Often believing them, and lacking the type of self-confidence that comes with experience, the unnurtured spark never has a chance to ignite. And so those raw passions of youth get lost over the years.
