Recently, I answered a question I heard posed on tv: If you could have any job in the world, what would you choose? I answered quickly, and silently, 'Open a dress shop - women's fashion'. This surprised me! I thought, 'Still?' This was a dream of mine in high school. Actually, I've always loved fashion! I come from a long line of fashionistas! I was surprised because most of my adult life has focused on community organizing. It seems my heart is somewhere else.
Don't think - just answer the question: If you could choose any job in the world, what would you choose? I hope you'll share that here, in the comments section below this post.
What motivates us is complex. I love "doing good" for my community - my world. One of the most powerful feelings, though, is to see a woman come into a shop (yes, I've worked at several), find a salesperson who can evoke the woman's vision of her inner beauty, and bring that to light. When a woman feels beautiful she shines; she takes that self appreciation out into her world. Perhaps that is "doing good" for my community - our world!
