“The world is run by people who show up.” ~ Harvey Locke
Speaker after speaker- my head is becoming fuzzy and my heart heavy. Extraordinary people doing extraordinary things have been spreading their zeal and motivation to audiences, hoping to spark new flames. Words echo from auditoriums back to the hollow drawer of my intentions. Learning about innovative individuals creating social change, standing up for justice, and combating environmental negligence should be all empowering and inspiring…………..instead I am left with a sense of emptiness……where is my footprint? what is my purpose?
In a world filled with such creative and powerful minds- It is hard to maintain perspective. I easily feel as though I fall short and feel like that one grain of sand or that one wave tossed in the ocean. It just so happens I am at a road crossing, confused, and moving blindly forward with every step. Unsatisfied with my career, I recognize the need for change. The options are both excitingly endless and completely overwhelming. How do I find work that is meaningful to me and contributes to the better of society? These questions filter through my mind on a perpetual basis.
Step by step, I place faith to the universe, which has my best interest at heart. I may not know where to stand or my place in this world. I will continue to walk forward with determination, take the journey, and hope some day my role will be revealed.
“You must be the change you want to see in the world.” ~Gandhi
