I Have a Promise for the World

My name is Patrice Kaufman, and I have a Promise for the World.

By 2038, I promise a world of One Loving Global Family. All people live their dreams with passion and purpose, together creating a world that works for everyone.

This promise was born with me, it's in my DNA, in my genes. It's shaped my life, it's given me my life, it is my life.

I'm 54 years old. When I look back over the decades of my life, I can see how my Promise has led me, step by step, into my life mission of being it's Ambassador to the people of Earth.

It all started one day in 1975. I was 22 years old, in the Air Force, on my big adventure of leaving home and forging my way in the world. I'd just arrived in Las Vegas for a 2-year assignment at Nellis Air Force Base.

Back then, I was an avid reader. Mystery, suspense, drama...reading was my favorite hobby. But it was always FICTION. I'd never voluntarily read a non-fiction book, or gone anywhere near the non-fiction section of a library, other than for a school project. 

That day, I went into the North Las Vegas Public Library intending to stock up on novels. Instead, I left carrying every book from their shelves on the subject of food additives.

Food additives??

I clearly recall saying to my 22-year-old self, what the heck is going on?

I ended up reading those books, and many more after that, covering a vast kaleidoscope of subjects. I felt like Alice, falling through the looking glass. Something had been opened up in me, I was on the hunt. For what, I wasn't sure. But it was thrilling, compelling. I felt alive, excited, amazed.

I didn't know it then, but my Promise had come knocking.

Another event that stands out as one of the markers on the wild ride my Promise was taking me on occurred in 1980, during my undergraduate studies in political science at Wayne State University. Lech Walesa had led thousands of workers to take over the Gdansk shipyard in Poland, and the Solidarnosc movement erupted on the world stage. I was electrified.

For weeks, I vicariously lived the drama of the common man throwing down the gauntlet to the powers that be. A passion for all people to have the opportunity to live their dreams and unfold their destiny came alive within me.

I was possessed with purpose, as my Promise continued to unfold my mission from within.

By the mid 80s, I knew I was being guided. I watched events unfold with fascination. In an undergraduate speech course 25 years ago I addressed this, as I am today, opening with a statement about the Angel that tapped me on the shoulder in the Las Vegas library.

In 1988 I experienced the best event my Promise ever staged for me. I was actively involved in leading the Detroit branch of the Summit Lighthouse, a non-profit organization that enrolled people into world service. I was 34, on fire for life, defining my purpose as leadership in the planetary project of creating a world that works for everyone.

I'll never forget it. Over the file cabinet, I saw this guy I'd never seen before, and I stopped dead in my tracks. I KNEW he was the one for me. It was unmistakable. He was my Life Partner, my soul mate, my destiny. My Promise was telling me so, loud and clear, with that electric ZAPP!

Four months later, we were married. He didn't stand a chance. My Promise brought us together, it was a done deal.

Fast forward 12 years, to October 2000, at a health food store in Bozeman, Montana. I was scouring the bulletin board, as usual, on the hunt for clues to my next unfolding step.

Suddenly, there it was, that familiar electric current, a cosmic message from my Promise. The words "Learn the Art of Conscious Creation" jumped off the board at me. I registered for that class immediately, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Since then, with my husband and a team of fabulous staff, I've created American Medical Careers, a million-plus business giving new careers and new lives to thousands of people. I'm creating my new business Cause Your Life LLC. The vanity license plate on my car declares "CAUZIT."  I relentlessly pursue my magnificent obsession, mastering the miracles and magic of Conscious Creation.

Who I am is a walking billboard for the message that We the People of Planet Earth are destined to come together as One Loving Global Family.  

We each have the power to cause the life of our dreams, to live with passion and purpose, and together create a world that works for everyone.

My job as Ambassador of My Promise for the World continues to give me the life of my dreams.
