This blog post was hard. You would think that after a month of in depth writing multiple times per week. I would be erupting with content. I've been thinking about it for days and all I've been able to come up with so far is that it should be profound. It should contain a whole month's worth of insight. How's that for setting yourself up for success?
I learned so much over my 4 week sprint as part of the class of altMBA8. The moment that I keep coming back to though was when I decided to shift a post I was writing from a project at work to my own mission. As much as I love the work project, it wasn't personal enough. I wasn't making it about my own dream for the future.
So what's the future that I've fallen in love with? It's the kind, caring and connected place that I stated when I started this blog. It's a world where we consistently spend time in service of others and our planet.
The challenge I consistently got was this sounds amazing, but I need you to be more specific. What do you want me to do? How do we get there? What fascinating questions!
How do I sell this idea to others? I'm not sure yet. I've given myself the next couple of months to reflect on that. By my one-year anniversary (April 25) of this daily blog, I'll have at least my first take at this.
The one thing I am sure of is that I'm feeling less scared of charting a course toward this audacious dream. A very generous traveler on this journey asked me in a comment: "What if you always saw yourself in your Poppy's light?" If I can just keep coming back to this light, I know I can keep moving forward. Time and time again my family, especially my Poppy, have given me the courage to serve my purpose.
It's time to stop hiding in the shadows of doubt and leap into the light of possibility.
