The Power of Compassion
After a year of traveling across the country, sharing my message with a variety of people a dream of mine finally became a reality.
I had envisioned being able to share my message on a platform that would connect with a large number of people. In the early stages of my speaking career, I was happy to speak in front of anyone (I still am).
My little sister sent me some information about an opportunity that was taking place at the University of Las Vegas and I immediately submitted to be part of this event.
After a few weeks, I received an email saying I had been accepted to be a part of what they phrased “Living in the Extreme.”
I was able to give my first TED talk.
Power of Your Story
As I thought about living in the extreme, my personal story came to mind. However, I didn’t want to highlight my struggles, my upbringing or other difficulties I experienced. I wanted to speak about something we all could relate to.
When thinking about this I asked myself, “what if we all moved through our lives with extreme compassion?”
It was this idea that fueled my expression.
What I’ve realized is we all have a story to share. This is mine.
Go Forth
I’d like to encourage you to go forth and share your gifts with the world. Use your story and experiences to help others recognize their gifts.
Be willing to look at others and see the light within them, even if it is hard to notice. Most importantly honor the light within yourself.
Moving with compassion, you can transform the world around you.
Peace
Happiness
Compassion
Respect
