A journey into the sole of Nancy.
About a year ago, I viewed a video that asked me, “What is your vision, what do YOU want to DO with your life?”
I guess it was time…
…maybe the moment…
…shrug of shoulders, my answer to myself was, “well, I really don’t know!” What is my purpose? Why am I on this Earth? What was I really meant to accomplish?
I always thought (in adulthood) that I was here to support my son. Funny, now that I look back, I REALLY failed at that! Won’t get in to that story here.
None the less, that was what I set as my purpose in my early 20′s. Come to find out, my son doesn’t need me! Sad to me but true. He is a strong, full of purpose person as an adult. He will fare quite fine. (and, he does appreciate my support)
So, I am back to me… what is my purpose? Why am I here? Just what is it that I want to accomplish in ‘this’ life?
After some nudging from mentors, I am lead to a path of enlightenment. A path that I thought of as enchantment when I was a child. A path to abundance that was only meant for princess’s and fair maidens.
A path to abundance that included EVERYONE! No, really, it includes everyone…
…all that desire abundance can get it. You just have to believe!
OK, so I start believing…
I start trusting and learning and growing and believing…
Boom! Reality (as I see it) swoops in and drops a wrench and I have to spend time taking care of getting the day to day tasks done and whatever it takes to get the bills paid and everyone around me happy… I lose track of me…
…time goes on… but I still haven’t lost that yearning for finding my purpose. Why am I here? What am I supposed to accomplish? What is my footprint going to look like?
My persistence with the universe was answered. I woke up one day and realized that I truly wanted to give. I mean REALLY GIVE! like BIG!! I want to be a bird that swoops down and delivers a bag that contains every conceivable need to accomplish a goal, and then swoop up into the moonlight and fly away anonymously.
Those in need would wake up to find the bag and make their dreams come true. They would be grateful and therefore I would be grateful.
I feel my vision came from a donation that I made to the ‘Make A Wish Foundation’ when I didn’t have a lot to give but gave anyway. That ACTION opened a door for me that lead me to philanthropy and my vision.
Random acts of kindness have always appealed to me. Especially, the anonymous ones! Like those that go to K-Mart or Walmart and just pay off everyone’s lay-away during the holiday season (bless their souls).
My vision is to be a random giver of accomplishment. In that way, I will feel the accomplishment over and over and over again for the rest of my life.
Not so much the ‘give and you will receive’… but the ‘give and you will attract’ because this is the way it works. I have had to learn how to receive as well.
“The world is a delicate balance.” Ask anyone who knows me, I have been stating this for YEARS! There has to be bad in order to have good. In my view, it’s what we do with the bad that is important.
I choose to see the bad as an opportunity to do good! Or to make good! Or to something good… whatever is appropriate for the circumstance.
I feel there is always good and I strive to see it everywhere. I AM a child of the universe. No less than the trees and the stars, I have a right to be here… Desiderata has (since teen-hood) been a favorite of mine.
During the 1900′s, there has been a shift in thinking. I got caught in it a long time ago. I see it happening all around me today. I see what the Mayan’s saw coming. I feel the shift in thinking. I feel the shift in business. I feel the shift…
…the shift in awareness.
The next 5000 and however many years there is going to be an awakening in the existence of man. Right here, right now, we are at the beginning of a global awakening of man that will propel everyone into a greater, richer, more fulfilling life and everyone will benefit.
We will ALL realize that our God is the same. It’s the universe. It’s US. We are IT!
Ok, so now I’m off on a rant looking for world peace! In time, in time. For now, I have to get up tomorrow and get some errands done to get food on the table so I will let you go. After all, you asked for it!
You wanted to know more about me! So, there you go.
Keep smiling, Nancy
