For as long as I can remember I have stood on anything I can find that would elevate me just a bit. I'd jump up on top of that elevated surface and speak from my heart to an imaginary crowd, all fired up and ready to motivate.
Since those days, I have come around to some clarifying experiences that have helped me to realize that I could never be a motivational speaker. Don't get too exasperated. Do you want to know why I have come to that conclusion? Well, I'll tell you.
I can not be a motivational speaker because motivation comes from within yourself. I couldn't motivate a squirrel to hunt for nuts if I tried, and I have. I, honestly, laid out some nuts on my back deck, waited and watched to see if I could convince the squirrel to come get the nuts. No go. Many other circumstances have clarified the fact that I, simply, CAN NOT WANT IT BAD ENOUGH FOR YOU or anyone else.
You know what I can do? I can inspire you. I can be energetic and I can be on fire. I can feel love coursing through me and I can live my life as an example, it makes me feel good anyway. So, I am doing it for myself, but if you want to be inspired? I certainly can inspire, but the motivation piece of this deal, is all on you buddy.
So, my clarifying experiences have created a more specific dream. When I grow up I want to be an inspirational speaker. And do you know what else? I already am. I am all grown up and I am inspiring people all over the place, just by being me and living my passion for life. Loving. Laughing. Hugging and having fabulous days, because that, my friends, is what life is all about.
