Video on Composing a Career and Life

In this video, Linda Mason, an entrepreneur operating during a recession, speaks of her life story, her decision to change her life and her dedication to giving her life meaning.  She speaks of the adversity and struggles throughout the various transitions in her career; including her work with her husband in Sudan refugee camps and all the way to the creation of a humanitarian-based organization called, Bright Horizons, which manages employer sponsored child care programs across the world.  Before the creation of Bright Horizons, she would find herself feeling depressed.  She had everything; cars, money, a house that was paid off, but had nothing that stood out as a difference maker.  She began reflecting on her life and it caused her to start leading a life that impacts others and not just herself.  The message of this video is about rethinking your life and career.  The story inspires to not take your life for granted and to take chances even if the future does not seem clear.  This message is a wake-up call for people who just settle for selfish minimum.  It asks for listeners to take hold of their own life and start managing it so that it affects others now and the ones that come later after you are gone.   Linda Mason's life story inspires me to take my life more serious and to follow my passion to make an impact on others, so that there will be a positive world even after I am gone.
