I am running across AMERICA! Yes, pulling a Forrest Gump;) Yep, this coming March 2009 I will be leaving from Boston, MA on a 9-month journey across America to California. The neat thing is that I will be the youngest female to do this (I am 23), but, alas, that is not the point. Not only do I want to "climb the unclimbed mountain, " But I also am committed to to making a few beautiful waves, and a significant mark in the lives of others.
WHY am I running across America?! Here it is in a nutshell...
To inspire people to pursue their passion in life! I have a mantra, Pave Your Lane, which basically represents the idea of finding your passion, and pursuing it - you do not need a scripted track or "lane" paved out for you to do this. YOU are the one who will pave your OWN lane, and do so with your passion as your guide. Don't be afraid! Your passions are an expression of who you are, and we are meant to follow these callings. This is what I want to inspire and empower people to do - pave their own lanes in life.
I am using my run across America as a bold example of how I am paving my lane in life - taking one of my deep passions (running) and applying it by doing something, in this case, out of the box. There is so much power when you can realize who you are and what gives you life, because, at least for me, that is when I can best give back to the world. I just think that by harnessing your passion, you will be a happier person, and the world needs radiant souls who can shine some light on others. I truly believe that there are endless possibilities for those in search of living a whole, radiant life, particularly through unleashing their passion. Find yours! Follow it!
Pave Your Lane inspires the pursuit of dreams, and empowers mind and heart-fueled passion and action. By running across America, I will exemplify this mantra to the world, shining the light on the importance of following your heart, passions, and dreams.
There ya go!
