Purpose
is a feeling on the inside
that throbs.
Someone can
pick, plan, program, participate, protest, protect, patronize, philosophize, philanthropy any
Purpose.
The throb can be
Activated.
But
When you’re born INTO
Purpose
YOU grow around IT
Like scar tissue.
The throb comes
before you can even pick yourself apart from the
Purpose.
And
Plenty of people
dull, dilute, diminish, discourage, derail, deny, defame, disconnect, deactivate
Purpose
That overpowers them.
Yet
I have never been more determined to
Display MY
Purpose
Because
I’m not scar tissue.
The throb since birth is a weight to
Empower MY
Purpose
And
I am determined to
Expose MY
Purpose
To the world.
So
They can SEE I’ve been
Muscle
growing ON my
Purpose
All this time.
How does your personal story shape your purpose? And what happens when your personal purpose fuels your public impact?
And that's what we're going to tackle today...
My guest, Lakesha Burton, is a woman of courage, conviction and character.
Her courage comes from her deep faith in God.
Her conviction is reflected in her determination to consistently do the next right thing.
And her character... Well, that has been built by a lifetime of facing insurmountable challenges and overcoming them.
In this episode, we find out how having institutional knowledge, then combining it with compassion for community, can reframe the game for someone who developed a playbook at the Police Athletic League.
