Say "I Do!" and Step into Your Vision
Faith is taking the first step even when
you don't see the whole staircase.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Kelly Lewis was a successful executive at CapitalOne on the verge of a big promotion when she submitted her resignation to found The Bounce Collective. Kelly had realized that her true passion in life was to bring out the leadership abilities in others. Looking back at that moment, she recalled both a sense of certainty about her new path and fearfulness about making such a big change. On March 5th, Kelly Lewis of The Bounce Collective joined Kate on Visionary Leader Extraordinary Life to share her bold story of stepping into her vision and offer advice to listeners on how to step forward into that vision -- even when you aren't entirely sure how to make it happen.
Kelly reminded us, "You don't have to know it all. As Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, it is all about taking the first step. It's ok if you can't see how you are going to get there, or how you will proceed beyond the first step. Sometimes just taking that first step opens up a whole new world of options to us that we couldn't see before." She also commented that when you move forward with your vision, you don't have to do it as a solo journey. "Don't be afraid to ask others for help along the way. You might not know how to get to the finish, but along the journey, you will meet other people who have the answers you are looking for.
Four years after leaving Capital One, Kelly can vouch for the rewards that come from pursuing your calling: "If your vision is a marriage of your own passion and gifts and something that the world really needs, say 'I do' as soon as possible." If you realize you have a passion for something, don't wait. We don't have to make "all or nothing" choices all of the time. You can work on your passion on the side until you are ready to make it you full-time work. Once you identify and step into your calling, you will be so much happier with your own life. What really makes putting off your dreams to a time down the road a better idea?"
