What causes a Yugoslavian girl to spend her life bringing hope to the destitute of Calcutta, a Jewish photographer to fight his way into a Nazi deportation to pull people off cattle cars, a modern suburban teenager to travel the world fighting child labor, or a housewife to name and bury anonymous “dumpster babies”? How is it that some people can take on an unfair job practice, a schoolyard or community bully, or a difficult family situation with courage and humor while most of us mutter on the sidelines? In other words, why do some people live lives of purpose, of challenge and joy, while many others, by all appearances in the very same circumstances, settle for drab days of routine? Do those living lives of purpose have a secret? The answer is, yes, they do! And in this talk or seminar, Sharon shares them in an accessible way that will help you make simple choices every day to become "the hero of your own life."
