Do you have the desire in your heart to change professions or
take a class or start a business? Is the point of stopping is
that the divide is TOO significant for you, stop for a minute.
My daughter Katherine is in 4th Grade at Mount Vernon Magnet
School for the Performing Arts. This past semester she made the
Principal's List: she received the highest scholastic level
possible. One of the remarkable bits of information I picked up
this year as I have assisted with her homework is that within her
lessons in Math, there are already bits of Algebra sprinkled
into the lessons.
When I was in school, we were "all of a sudden" introduced to
Algebra in 8th or 9th grade.
We went from no algebra to all algebra.
In Katherine's case, she is becoming comfortable with algebra
now so when she comes to the point of taking an algebra class,
the divide will be quite narrow.
She never looks to me and laments, "But Mommy, I do not know
calculus yet!!" It never crosses her mind.
If she ever did, I would tell her the reason she does not know
calculus yet is because she has neither the skill set or the
abilities TODAY, though in time she most certainly
will. I can further encourage her by reporting that even I do
not know Calculus, although one of my goals is to take and
succeed in this course of study even twenty years post College
Graduation.
Instead of lamenting your current "lack" in a particular
skillset: that which is keeping the divide so wide, look to what
yu have in abundance and determine what is your next step.
Passion Activator Application:
Determine specifically where it is you want to be when you
reach your goal. Is it that you want to be a top sales producer
this quarter? Start a new business? Perform in an Off Broadway
play?
Whatever it is, become immersed in it through whichever
way you are most connected creatively. What I mean by that
is it might be through writing, singing, painting, mindmapping,
list making, creating a collage.
Simply take the step and see where exactly the other side of
the divide truly lives. You may find it is not so wide after all!
OR you will definitely be able to begin your progression
towards it more successfully and quickly.
