Connect to Your Passion By Paying Attention to the Whisper | Adriana Girdler | TEDxHickory

Do you know someone living their life's passion? Their happiness is inspiring. Want to live your life with purpose? Yet finding it can be tricky. In this fun and personal talk, Adriana shares her story of moving from feeling stuck to finding her purpose by paying attention to the whisper. Our purpose ignites our passion and drives us to get to the next level in life. This TEDx talk is about how to get to what’s next in our life and implementing steps to get there (via personal vision statements). We’re here to learn and grow, and this talk on connecting with our passion is a great tool.
In this TEDx talk, Adriana reveals:
• How to tap into your deep-seated goals and dreams you aspire to in life.
• How visioning can turn your internal no’s to a vibrant yes.
• How to draw or use photos to quickly and effectively create a motivating personal vision statement.
• How Adriana manifested her own personal desires into a new, unexpected, venture.
• Why visioning is a powerful tool to connect to your passion.

    I am so grateful for Adriana. The visual vision we created for our team was fantastic...something we all lived for real. The theme song we created to go along with it was out of this world...people who never thought they could do it (sing, play, create a song) took a huge leap of faith, believed in our vision so much that we all created something we are so proud of.
