What did you want to be when you grew up? I was lucky enough to have parents that told me and more importantly believed that I could be anything I wanted to be. Sadly, I think they were hoping that I would fulfill my dreams of becoming the President of Canada instead of becoming a yoga teacher, but I think they're over it by now...
Growing up I also had a passion for fashion design and hoped that one day I would have my clothes walking down a runway in a posh Paris studio. I'm not so interested in fashion anymore, but when I listen, there's the same passion and purpose that my life is meant for something big. When I was younger, it was more about the fame and glamor of the fashion professions, now, it's quieter, more soulful, and more urgent than ever before. I, probably just like you, know I was put here for something important. I believe this life is precious and short and although life is strong it is also very fragile because it can be drastically changed or taken from me at any moment. I have no illusion that death is always near, just like birth, and perhaps that is where my urgency has set in.
What happened to our childhood hopes and dreams? Did we let society convince us that we were meant simply hope for the best and clock in and out each day and never hope for more? What was it that drove your heart when you were young, and what happened to your dream? Is it still the same, or is it now something different? All of us, when we get quiet enough to listen to the echos in our own hearts, we know we are meant for something more. So today, I challenge you to uncover what inspires you to be and give your best, and take one small step off the road that's known towards one of your dreams, whatever that may be. Find your luminous truth, and let it shine.
