Answering The Call To Be More In Broadcasting

thank you

you know answering the calls going to

broadcasting

really interesting and the bulk of the

story

i won’t go into today and i’m sure it’s

a story my father

dr tom adaba would not be too

enthusiastic right to tell you

because it was a really interesting one

but then

going from veterinary school i

determined to be a veterinarian

i chose veterinary medicine and i

studied veterinary medicine

for eight years strikes and an extra

year inclusive

in the prestigious amateur below

universities area herbocytes

now after some time um

of practice post-graduation post-service

i knew there was something more

that i had to do i knew there was

a calling i ignored it right

i’m from a family of broadcasters by the

way

but i wanted to be different and just

went into the sciences to be different

there it was there it was nagging

and you know if you’re a christian like

jonah in the bible who thought he could

run away

but finally found his way back that’s

exactly what it was

for me broadcasting to me

is a calling a calling to be

and do more not just for myself

but for that person

to inspire to help that

one person yes millions listen

but there is one person who needs to

hear

the message and that’s what it is

for me being able to

help and help someone grow

i remember going to papa

to say

[Music]

so i got a job you know

you can imagine how that went especially

after studying veterinary medicine

after everything that had gone down

papa looked at me and said seva do make

me do

why did you make me waste money in

veterinary school

why why did you do that if you knew

this was what was this was what you

wanted to do

but nothing is a waste

at all no experience is wasted

because we learn along the way and trust

me i have

that purpose is prime

and if you find your

more if you find your purpose in life

the key to helping others more

to being other

making a difference and positive impact

in your generation now finding purpose

is not exactly

it

comes from a place of introspection it

comes from a place of telling yourself

some

hardcore truths and answering the

questions

why am i here what am i here to do

whose life am i here to change what

impact am i supposed to be making

in this life broadcasting for me

is not just about having a great voice

no

the great voice helps because people

listen to you right

but that’s not it broadcasting for me

is making a difference and making the

person who’s listening on the other side

know that he or she

encouraging them to see the best in

themselves

encouraging them to be the best versions

of themselves my journey was long and

wine

i found my place eventually

i’m home now in the development space

which is where i am right now i still

see the need

to reach out and make a difference

because you see

it’s all the time it’s by the dalai lama

and

the favorite quote is

our prime purpose in life

is to help others and where we cannot

help them

don’t hurt them

this has been a guiding principle for me

this has been

a push for me to realize that

it’s not just about your fine voice but

what is the content

of that voice what content

of your message in pushing another

person

to be and do more

what are you doing what difference are

you making in the things

that you do that’s that’s the guiding

principle

and if that’s a guiding principle for

you it will help you

to be other centered i remember some

time ago

and listening to shurim talk about it i

said

one day i will interview

mufti menk because he’s one of my

favorite people

and sharim i look forward to that

happening with your connect of course

but you know that aside but i look

forward to

i have interviewed i’ve had the honor of

speaking to

people

years of influence people who have

touched lives people who are inspiring

others

and as much as it is fun it is also

a challenge for me to ask myself what am

i doing

what am i doing on this earth what

difference am i making

in veterinary medicine i still practice

by the way so you can bring your dogs

and just line them up

afterwards yeah in veterinary medicine

or in the development space

now purpose is important

and that’s where you need to go to be

more because finding purpose

is that link you need to develop

yourself

and to be the best version of yourself

i am so honored to be on this stage with

this

amazing people with these amazing people

who have spoken and who will still speak

and indeed the chance to be heard by my

own people is such an honor

but i challenge you today to look within

and to be truthful to yourself

to ask yourself those questions

what am i doing what do i need to do who

am i supposed to impact

what difference am i supposed to make in

life

when you answer those questions by being

connected

to your maker then you will truly

find purpose and that will be the start

of your journey

to being more thank you
