What captures your heart?
For me, it’s learning!
I knew in 3rd grade I was meant to be a teacher. I hungered to grow and learn. I arrived home from school one day and my observant mother noticed I had a nice new black and white 9 x 11 spelling book. I was sitting at the kitchen table in my glory “doing school” when my mom asked me, “Where did you get the new Spelling book?” “From school” came my answer. Next, she asked what any wise mom would ask, “Does your teacher know you have it?” “No,” I said. I had decided that day in school, that they had plenty of extra Spelling books stacked neatly in the huge gray metal double door cabinet.
And I helped myself. (NOT GOOD!)
Needless to say, and I’m appreciative, my mom told me, “Erase all that you wrote in it, take it back tomorrow, and apologize to your teacher for taking something that is not yours.”
I did do that!
However, that didn’t take away the love I have for learning and/or for worksheets and workbooks. It’s still within, as the passion I have to teach, coach, and create curriculum for women.
What about you?
Is there something you did as a child that was positive but perhaps, you did a BIG NO NO, like I. And fear is holding you back?
Yet, you still are drawn to that interest?
Is it music, gardening, pets, animals, poetry, crafts, elderly, ballet, what is your passion? Is there anything holding you back? If so, who or what is holding you back from exploring that today?
I know everyone doesn’t get a kick from learning. But, everyone has a passion and entrusted gifts that fuel them.
A lady I coached years back, and for only a few minutes at a retreat where I spoke, kept sharing with me how she loved to learn, to learn, to learn. When I addressed that topic and brought it to her awareness. She was stunned. She had been shamed all her years for wanting to learn and was told, “SHE SHOULD NOT.” Yet, learning had captured her heart.
Come alive and be YOU!
