TED on Drive, Passion and Intuition.


I was thinking the other day, where would I be if I did not create The Event Division? What if I did not listen to myself and get excited at the possibilities!

When I bargain with or internalize my creative self, I am limiting my true nature to spring forth in to existence.

As an event producer I have always wanted more. The greatest venue, the best band, the perfect entrĂ©e, an ORGANIZED guest list...I forgot while trying to be perfect in my career that I was not enjoying the process, because I was concerned with every detail. Did that make the event less perfect? Did I compromise my own happiness for someone else’s happiness and forfeit my own personal passion? Yes, I did because that is my role as producer, enabler, entrepreneur - so I thought.

While in the process of your career you can choose your intuitive thoughts to guide you without outside influences reminding you of "How difficult the times are", "That has not been done before," etc... you may find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

There are rules in making this choice, however ...

The first rule is: Believe in yourself! Know that you have every piece of the puzzle waiting for you to create your unique life picture.

The second rule is: Recognize your support base! In your co-workers, family and friends that believe in you and want to see you achieve your dreams.

The third rule is: GO BACK TO WHAT YOUR PARENTS SAID! "Be careful, it’s a dangerous world out there." What they were really saying is; "know your value and be wise with your actions while making decisions because people will try and take advantage of you if you are not grounded." (I wonder what EDISON or EMERSON parents said to them?)

You may find that the first step to happiness and success starts with you creating something that no one else could have created without your drive, passion and intuition.
