Beginning with gratitude, listening to her desire to be of service, seeking challenges and not seeing obstacles is the approach Ronnie Khan takes to keep her work nourishing. Her advice...do something, little things, every day. Even though the fire is so big, each and every one of us can use a teaspoon , if millions of us use a teaspoon , we can put the fire out through everyday actions that make a difference. Her calling was in food relief, what's yours? SHOW NOTES How her destiny has led her to a purposeful life The influence of a childhood in an apartheid South Africa When you see inequality visibly before your eyes, it’s very hard not to feel defensive of it The whiplash of moving from apartheid to a socialism centric kibbutz - You work according to your ability & get what you need. Why moving to Australia allowed her to find her destiny in the last 20 years of her life She felt Australia was home the moment she arrived. She would hate for someone to feel that you cannot find your destiny unless you have a deep connection to place. Why finding your calling is not LUCK - gratitude is the key Being 50 before discovering her calling Creating solutions not problems Empowering people to be food literate and nourish themselves with food Nurturing volunteers in the way they ought to be Why not everybody needs to start a charity but to find their empowerment to be themselves Her reasons to write a book - an ordinary person who ended up doing something that is extraordinary, a practical lesson for others to learn from. Mixing family and business Our options to address calamity - teaspoons are one way of putting the fire out. Why she gifts a teaspoon with each of her books Why there's nothing prescriptive on the path to change. Look in the mirror and you will see the joy & your purpose - you can’t buy purpose What brought you the most joy Her purpose does not waver because it is way bigger than her - her purpose is to serve. 4000 volunteers and still onboarding. People love their energy and love that they listen and value their most previous commodity (time) Free supermarket - take what you need and give if you can Oz Harvest cannot operate without magnificent people Finding ways to build volunteer retention Community is the new Immunity - we need connection and more value for more people Covid has lifted a veil - removed a mask for the potential for who we could be We had become human doings and not human beings - how do we be, on this planet, honor nature and stop destroying the things that keep us alive. The more you can see you can do Being able to use your voice Don’t ever underestimate the power of you as an individual and the actions you can take.
