When you think about work do you think in terms of "burning desire" or "calling?" What is a burning desire to do this one thing you believe you were meant to do. What is a calling? Do you feel inside of you that there is a place that just is telling you that this is way to walk?

This is your purpose. Then you are blessed for many this never

a long time now valued diversity in people and their opinions. I valued

all things both human and non-human. I was really ready to take a

honest self examination of self and when I was wrong promptly admit it. I think true humility takes credit for assets and well as attributes we
