Day 2: Rubble Idea taken from Stargate Atlantis Season 5 episode 1 “Search and Rescue”

First she could hear the deep mumbling of familiar voices. Next was the warmth of the large hand wrapped around her much smaller one. It was then the pain hit, a jack hammer in her head and a hot searing pain in her shoulder. At this, her pale blue eyes snapped open to meet the grey of the one gripped to her hand.  Even in the dark, she could see, his were full of fear.

There was a yelp as she rolled over to relieve herself of the pain in her shoulder. Taking a deep breath, she pushed herself up to a sitting position with her good arm. Around her was the rubble of the former building she, along with her two teammates were previously standing in.

”Ty, is she awake?”The voice floated over to her through the debris, indicating that the third member had survived the blast. He was answered with a grunt. “I’m fine, Joe,” she answered for the man named Ty. “You sure are Mia,” was the witty comeback she got. She couldn’t help but grin, “good to know the sas survived the blast.”

Ty beckoned her to come closer, “I need to set that shoulder of yours; its dislocated”.  Mia’s recently formed grin dropped as Ty began unthreading the belt from his trousers, “hey, could be worse; Joe has a beam pierced into his side.” The girl could only nod as Ty helped the belt to her mouth so she could bite down on it. Slowly Mia swivelled around so that her bad shoulder was closest to Ty. Ty could only watch with a grimace as he prepared to set her shoulder, “alright on 3…” He was interrupted in a true Mia fashion, “is this where you say 3 but actually do it on 2?” The shoulder was popped in while she was distracted. “All better,” he smirked while patting the shoulder.

I I live in a world of go. Go forth, go on, go in, go further, go for it. It's this constant go that gives me speed and strength. It's also this go that gives me impatience, and a desperate need to discover and uncover the world at a rapid pace. 

A few years ago I actually told my parents I wanted to make the Forbes List. I was six (just kidding). It was not to win an award, or to be recognized for my work (although it's totally badass!); it was to accomplish work that was worthy of such recognition. I was inspired by winners of the past, those who had put effort, aggression, passion and perseverance into the everyday, because to make everyday important, is a far greater challenge.

At 28, I'm still learning, adjusting, breaking, bending, growing, and sharpening. But I have learned to attack every day with vengeance - a vengeance to inspire, both others and myself, and a vengeance to do better than my best. To some, this vengeance can seem harsh, and well, it is. It can seem aggressive. It is. And if it seems all too serious, that's because it is. The energy I put out into the world, the heart I put into my work, the lengths I take to inspire and learn from others, is no laughing matter... because I have made a choice, for every single moment to matter. 

At 28, I often get in trouble for my aggression (enter angry emoji here). But I have learned that passion is one of the most powerful tools we have (thanks Dad). This past year, Sheryl Sandberg bravely shared some sob stories, Harvard Biz Review opened the female flood gates with their controversial article, Emotional, Bossy, Too Nice and I too joined the fiery forces. Because risk taking requires heart, and it's this heart, that has helped me fight my goals, and conquer them with fury.

The Forbes 30 Under 30 List includes 450 movers and shakers who define this go. They are believers (and serious overachievers!) who bridge head and heart, and challenge the everyday. They aren't afraid to question the quo, or break the boundaries, and I am humbled to be considered one of them. It's wonderful to be recognized for your work (it takes a village, and there are too many to thank), but it's remarkable to set your mind on something, and watch the magic happen.

Your life is in your control, so go get it.
