I don't know why it is now, after four years of waiting and wishing and hoping. But it is finally time. In 2007 when we first moved to Hawaii I attended the World of Dance seminar at the UofN. It was 5 weeks of intense dance training. Along with that though was the question, what are you called to. Whatever it is do it and do it with all your heart. I knew distinctly that I am made to be an artist. I live to create and to express through every medium possible. I have been struggling to understand what that means for me and how I fit into a society (or more likely my own expectations) of security and longevity, responsibility. I have come to the understanding that it is essential for me to live outside the boundaries of convention. To explore uncharted territory and make life up as I go. I have the opportunity to impact the world through creativity and I intend to use every way possible to do that. This will be one of my biggest steps so far in making sure that happens.
Lately, I have been going through a few different passion assessments with my church leadership. What really stands out to me is something I have realized before and am recognizing again... your dreams, your destiny, your passions, they never die. They just get covered up sometimes by circumstance or expectations or reality as most people call it. I believe that each of us is born with something that just keeps coming back to us, that we always wanted to do, or be. Aaron always wanted to be a helicopter pilot, but he reasoned it away for years thinking it was too big of a dream. I always wanted to be an artist but tried to fall in love with something else more practical. We probably all have something like this. The key is to have the faith to take the step, make the changes and start living your dream.
Your heart has know the truth from inception
It echos through your soul
Courses through your veins
Lives in your dreams
Destiny awaits you.
Stop. Listen.
