I've followed his career closely for three years now. Each year has revealed dramatic improvement in his art.
I've been witness to his rigorous practicing and rehearsing. While those he could be socializing with were out doing other things for fun he buckles down to work perfecting that which he loves and desires to do best.
I've listened to him, always confident and never boastful, talk about what he is profoundly passionate about. When he isn't speaking you can almost hear his self-talk, upbeat and positive.
I had the extreme pleasure of watching him perform recently on a large Toronto stage and it was magic. Astonished by not only the total confidence he displayed but by the ultimate joy he radiated. He was amazingly humble after receiving the highest awards and deluge of accolades. I thought to myself he was by far the best performer and if he keeps this up he's headed for the big time. But even if he chooses not to take the path to stardom I feel compelled to write about what is at the very core of this exceptional achiever - Purpose!
One of my personal quotes has it, "Purpose is the seed from which a successful existence sprouts."
When one discovers their purpose in life they join the small fraternity of people on this planet who rarely get moody or depressed. They are consistently optimistic and seldom sick and enjoy vibrant and healthy relationships. Needless to say, they have high self-esteem and almost always feel fulfilled. As such, they lead stellar lives on that most magical level most sadly never experience.
Personally, I've never met anyone who created a purpose driven life I didn't like, or love, and totally respect, and didn't get amazingly along with. My life has been so richly blessed because I have known or worked with many true professionals both in the music business and with authors and entrepreneurs over the Internet. People whose purpose was clear and whose passion was infectious. They always served to make me a more purposeful and passionate person. And this young man ranks right up there with the best of them. His future indeed shines bright!
Here's the rest of the story though.
His name is Cameron.
What moves him is the art of dancing.
This Man on a Mission is only nine years old.
Cameron just happens to be my youngest grandson.
While the fear-mongering media is ranting at the top of their negative lungs that our children and grandchildren are going to be saddled with trillion dollars of debt while inheriting climate catastrophe and expanding wars on terror, I firmly believe our offspring will make out just fine. See, there must be thousands, perhaps millions of children just like Cameron who have begun to discover their purpose, pursuing it with passion early on in life, and enough of this next generation will want to change whatever world we choose to leave behind for them!
Perhaps Cameron will bring his brilliant dancing to the change-the-world party! If not dancing then he will certainly move the world in other positive ways. Trust me on that.
For now though, at less than a decade old, he's quite content to fill his heart and the hearts of those he touches with his gifts of passion - and purpose!
So, I ask: Will your walk through life leave a trail?
