"God lives within us, not above us. Sharing our gifts and talents with the world is the most powerful source of connection with God." -Brené Brown
My meaningful work has always been, believe it or not, people. I recently remembered being interviewed to be a PAL in high school, and telling my interviewers that "people are my passion". Connecting with them, discovering who they are, and ultimately accepting them just as they are. As I've gotten older though, I've seemed to lost sight of my passion because if you know me, you'll more than likely hear "I hate people" or "people are stupid" slip from lips at least 3x a week. And while I wish I could say I don't truly mean that...I can't. You see...I'm a believer. And wholeheartedly believe that every person has a calling/passion. So when I see that calling being wasted, I become frustrated as hell. Thus leading to my "hate" for people.
In our world, people get the whole not "following your dreams" thing. For me, I just can't. Luckily, my dream will allow me to make a consistent amount of money and live an incredibly comfortable life. For others, however, their calling may not do the same--which leads to them thinking that what they can do exceptionally well and what they love to do, isn't good enough and that they should be doing something more worth while.
