The Heart Of The Matter.

This is suppose to be a secret post, over the years, I noticed that I usually feel better when I pen down my thought so here it goes.So happy my younger sister got a job in a profession that she loves, I remember when she had to come fight for admission in Uniport, it was like a loooooooooooooong time ago but I still remember.. lol, all the secret reporting she used to report to my mum how I drove her hard, looking at her, I think it was worth it.Sometimes I wonder if I am doing what I love? My sister studied Anatomy, graduated with one of the best grades in her class, but always loved cinematography and she didn't even think about it but jumped right into it, maybe cause she didn't have responsibilities or maybe cause she had a sister (my elder sister) that believed in her dream? or maybe cos she dared to take a risk, carve a niche for herself, or she decided to live her dream.So many times we jump into things not because we love them but because we have responsibilities and all we think about is the fat salary at the end of the month to meet the needs of family and our immediate needs sigh...... I love fashion, hair, makeup, I love to dress people up, I see a fabric and I know in my head what style to sew, what shoe to pair it with , should I have gone to fashion school?Maybe its not too late?but the market is filled with so many up and coming designers that I fear I will struggle but does that really matter?I am doing Brand management, a far cry from what I studied in school and I must admit I enjoy it.talk about brands, My eyes lit up, I know I was born to do this, so I try the Triangle approach; My Purpose which is at the Apex and then What I do and My passion, Just like the picture below..

My purpose is to  add value to the lives of people, I am called to a special set of people, the young people between the ages of 16-25, I am suppose to help them be who God wants them to be and help them find that place of usefulness, love and self esteem. I am tying that purpose to what I do now which is brand management and my passion which is  love for fashion and style.

So I encourage today to try the triangle approach, what are you doing now? what are you called to do (Your Purpose) and what is your passion (What do you enjoy doing)....

For me this is the heart of the matter.
