Stars of Destiny

Most people are like a falling leaf that drifts and turns in the air, flutters and falls to the ground. But a few others are like stars which travel one defined path; no wind reaches them, they have within themselves their guide and path.
-- Herman Hesse-Siddartha

I have only really known one other star. Sean, keep to the guide and path within you. You have the ability to shine the light onto others and show them that they too can be a star.

I met another person like me today. Someone driven by that rare inner strength. Ashley also wants to be a teacher for the good of the children. Her aim is true and her values strong. May you never falter and become a leaf.

The secret I wish to convey is this. Most people dont feel like they are happy with what they do with their jobs. I see this all the time. I see it spreading. I remember during an early mentor session most of the people who were coming to college were coming so that they could get a good job and make lots of money. This is the destruction of our people. We create our futures based solely on acquiring wealth without giving a thought as to whether the route we take will fulfill us.

Those of you out there who have yet to find yourself in a position where you need to make this choice, dont worry. There will be a time when you do. And here is the answer. Discover what moves you. Discover within yourselves what you are passionate about. For me it isnt just teaching. For me it is our youths. They are our future. I want to help educate the futures of tomorrow, but mostly I want to be that teacher that is there for the students. That one teacher that gives his students hope and a sense of some level of serenity when they walk into that classroom.

What drives your core? What do you get charged up about? Find out what moves your soul and you will find that strength, that inner guide and your path will become apparent to you.
