Here we grow again!

The best thing about starting a blog is getting to share my life and thoughts with you. The worst thing is me getting lazy and just using Facebook...lmbo! Too much is going on to put on Facebook! In less than 24 hours the discussion will began ALL OVER THE WORLD!!! And I am blessed and honored to be apart of it once again. 

The event is Super Soul Sunday present A New Earth with Author Eckhart Tolle. Airing at 11 CST a.m./12 EST a.m. on the OWN Network. If you don't have the channel, go to www.oprah.com or www.facebook.com/owntv. 

I read this book and it truly was if someone just woke me up from a deep slumber. I started to connect the dots and understand what I was feeling and hearing inside my soul. It's still a journey but an amazing one that I get to charter and not let take me where I don't want to go. I dream bigger, laugh and love more. Do I mess up? Heck yes, but the God I served already knew my beginning from my end so I just rely and trust in Him that everything I need is inside and sometimes the "other" comes from the books I read and the people I meet. I am so excited to start a "new" discussion with you. Will you be reading the book? Will you be watching? Tweet along with me. My twitter handle is erikahilliard.

Peace!

3 steps to help you live an authentic life

1.  Ask yourself what is your passion? The dictionary defines passion as a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything. Is it coming to you now? When you think of your passion does it make you excited? Does it bring a smile to your face? Does it bring fear? No one can answer that for you. What would you love to even if you didn't receive a pay for? Many of us live our lives doing jobs we hate and dying inside. Why? This isn't a dress rehearsal. We only have one life and this is it.

2. Figure out what it is that brings you joy and do it. Do your research. Read the book on it. Find someone who is doing what you want to do and hang out with them and pick their brain. Count up the cost. Give yourself permission to disappoint those who may disagree with you. We do ourselves a disservice living a lie and not living in truth. God didn't put you on this earth to just be a mom or just be a dad or to just exist. But to thrive, to make a difference and to change lives. But remember it is not our job to "save the world". That's God's job! But it is our job to be the example of what God can do through us.

3. GO DO IT!  Pursue your dreams. Because if you love what you do, you'll never work another day in your life! Then come back and tell me what you did!
