All about purpose and passion

So much has occurred since my last post in 2009! Since then, I have graduated from the University of Hartford, not once - but twice! Once with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications and most recently with a Master's Degree in Communications. I am driven and motivated to pursue a career in corporate communications and won't stop until I achieve my purpose. :) Since we are on the subject of purpose...... I recently came across a "life class" on Oprah's website, hosted by T.D. Jakes on living every moment with purpose and was challenged to discover my own purpose and focus on my dreams. I've always had a desire to write, to speak to others, and to demonstrate my creativity as well as improve myself as an individual emotionally and spiritually. I was motivated to set goals, become more active in my pursuit of a career and not a job, and to believe in my self. I want to make my dreams a reality and use myself as a tool to motivate other young professionals as myself to pursue their dreams and fulfill their highest potential and calling. I desire wholeheartedly to live a better life than the one I am living right now and will not be satisfied until I have achieved this goal. So, I decided to start creating goals for myself and working toward meeting them. I'm on a mission to improve my writing as well as ME (Kimberly). So, I decided to go back to the things I enjoyed - the things I found solace in such as writing and reading. Life can become so overwhelming and one can be inundated with so many regular tasks, forgetting to do the things they enjoy. I work towards personal improvement because I believe that I am here for a purpose and that I am destined for greatness. I appreciate websites that provide useful content to motivate individuals to do something. This broadcast in particular, motivated me to awaken the passion and zeal I had when I was an undergraduate to be a great writer and to love my profession in Communications. Some day I hope to travel the world. Some day I hope to be a director in the corporate office of an innovative and exciting Communications Department, communicating internationally and being acknowledged as a talented young black women who defied the odds and followed her dreams to success. I hope to do all of this with the same hunger and desire I have now and take baby steps looking forward to the growth and maturity. Dare I ask - What is your purpose? What do you have a passion for? Have you set goals?
