I attended San Diego State University and earned a degree in recreation. I chose recreation because it seemed the easiest four-year exit from college. I’ve never been academically oriented. However, a college degree was a family expectation that I felt necessary to achieve so I did. At 21 years old, in my senior year, I had absolutely no idea what my life was all about or what my purpose in life could be, until I took a class called “Camp Leadership”.
In camp leadership class, I was given a test which consisted of 5-10 problematic situations that I was expected to solve. On this test, I was capable of using my creative mind to come up with solutions to these problems. The reason I tell this story, is because I want people to know that it was at age 21, that I realized I had the ability to creatively use my thoughts and turn a negative situation into a positive one. I would achieve this by creating fun and games with my own mind. However, at 21 years old I didn't yet know how I could use this talent to benefit others. It was not until 29 years later that I realized that I could use these skills to train others to utlize their mind in a more positive way, and control their thoughts so that they could improve their lives.
Ever since I have begun helping people improve the quality of their lives, my level of happiness seems to have grown exponentially and gradually improves even more everyday. In 1989 I helped invent the board game "The Family Connection" which later turned into "The Mentoring Connection in 2008". Giving to others makes me happy all the time! I know deep in my consciousness I had always wanted to make other people happy, but didn't realize that I had the ability to make a difference and truely affect people's lives.
My point is that it took me many years to finally realize the 12-Second Solution. Ever since I was the guest on the "Life Camp Show," I hear that more and more people are now practicing this skill in their daily lives. The 12 Second Solution inspired me to come up with the concept of the Pass It Forward "30 Minute Mentor" Challenge. In 30 minutes I help people find their purpose so that they can develop their passion to help make the world a better place. In the same 30 minutes that I mentor, I am also training the protege to be able to do the same for others and pass it forward.
