One of the central messages I deliver to audiences is the idea that as early as childhood the passion for a thing will have manifested. As an example, one can easily peg me in two categories professionally, speaker and writer. I am without doubt living out my passion and walking in my destiny! It is hard to describe how blessed I feel each day to know that I know why I'm here on this planet, and am living that purpose.
The evidence in my childhood points to both speaking and writing. Joke-teller, 'star' of Rumplestiltskin in the 3rd grade, a role in the Christmas play in the 5th grade, a student organizer of Hippy Day at my elementary school in the 6th grade (made it on camera for local news coverage!), and on and on. I was also very proud of my handwriting. In the 2nd grade I won a kiss and a pack of M&Ms from my teacher for the best penmanship in my class.
So I wonder if Jacques Cousteau had a fascination for the ocean when he was a boy? Did this man who was instrumental in the development of SCUBA display his passion for the sea in the earliest years of his life? If you are in your 40's or older did you ever miss, 'The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau' when it came on television? Not if you could help it....
The evidence may be a love of baseball that becomes a life in the sport, or a love of music that becomes a life in the arts. Perhaps you were a doodler, or like me and always talking (always!). Maybe you liked putting together puzzles, or seemed destructive because you took everything apart to see how it was made. I am convinced the evidence is there for each of us.
In that evidence are the clues to our individual and personal design; the very foundation of why we are here on this planet. Recall how very different you felt from the other kids, and even from your brothers, sisters, or Mom and Dad? The reason is not bad, but instead a clue which may unlock your destiny.
That clue has virtually nothing to do with your gender, your race, or your ethnicity. It will not promote immorality, illegality, or division. The clues and the evidence they support are instead of the greatest benefit to you and those you love. This evidence, at least that which I discovered, leads to your passion, and passion leads to a life of fulfillment and purpose. Start digging. What does the evidence tell you?
