We all have defining moments. Mine was a conk on the head, literally. It happened on the day after my 23rd birthday and forever changed the course of my life.

It was a cool, sunny January day in the mountains of Southern California, where I was taking a hike up a steep and rocky trail with a couple of friends. We were intending on enjoying a quiet lunch with a magnificent view. As we neared the last bit of the hike, I recall looking up towards the boulder that was to serve as our picnic table to gauge how much farther we had to go. That’s when my memory gets fuzzy.

I’ve been told it was a basketball-sized rock that bounced down from above and hit me squarely on the forehead. I never saw it or felt it as it took a piece of my head with it down the mountain. I also didn’t feel my body as it bounced down the mountain like a rag doll. The instant the rock hit, I was mercifully out of my body and on a journey I will never forget.

For a time, I was gone from my body that day, and experienced an extraordinarily holy event that left me knowing, without a doubt, that I have a purpose for being here. I came back with a phrase echoing in my healing head: “There is something very important for me to do here.”

As time passed and my body recovered, I realized with more fervor that my reason for surviving the unexplainable accident was to bring those same words to everyone I met. So I am saying this to you: “You most definitely have something very important to do here.”

You have a unique and invaluable place in this world that is perfectly suited for you. You have your own set of circumstances, strengths, and challenges that affect the ups and downs, and twists and turns of your journey. And I have no doubt that there have been and will continue to be moments when you are exactly in the right place at the right time, with all that is needed to make a difference. You being you, doing what you do best is what the world needs.
