I am a Featured Author in the Qualified to Reign, Memoirs of a Resilient Queen anthology. This book is a collection of powerful stories written to show you how to intentionally build a relationship with God, pick up your crowns and boldly pursue your purpose. After reading this inspirational guide, you will learn how to:
Are you leading your life or is life leading you?
People over the centuries have questioned and debated the subject of purpose. What is it? Is there really such a thing as purpose? Why does it matter in the first place? Webster’s Dictionary defines purpose as the reason for which something exists or is done, made, used, etc. There are more than 64,000 books on the topic of purpose and Rick Warren, alone, has written 8 of them. For one person to write 8 books on the topic of purpose, it must be a real thing and it must mean something, right? Judging from Webster’s definition and the sheer number books available on the topic, it would be hard to defend that purpose does not matter. Additionally, biblically speaking, we were created for a purpose and plan. Perhaps, I believe that purpose matters because I have discovered mine and know what a difference it has made in my life since I have come to know my purpose and pursue it. So, for argument’s sake, let’s just say that purpose does matter. So, since it matters, what is the harm in not discovering and pursuing your purpose? If purpose is the reason for your existence and you don’t discover your purpose, what are you doing? Not to throw shade or be a Debbie Downer, if you don’t know the reason(s) you were sent to the earth, the things you were created to do and be, then I would say you are proceeding through life much like I was – being led around aimlessly by the nose from one shiny object to the next, from one fad to the next, unfulfilled and searching for ‘the next’. Maybe you are content with not knowing your purpose and if you are; I respect that. No harm, no foul; I, on the other hand am a little too nosey not to be curious. If you're curious too and want to discover your purpose, here are 4 steps you can take to find your purpose and greater self-awareness in the process.
We’ve all heard the adage, talking to yourself is fine as long as you don’t answer back. Well that’s all fine and dandy, until your Inner Critic tries to run your life and deserves a response. (Please Note: I named my Inner Critic Natalie, not to offend anyone that shares the name, butbecause it coincidentally begins with the letter N. To all my real Natalie’s out there, it’s nothing personal.) Case in point, meet Natalie, she’s the dis-empowering voice inside my head that speaks when I am learning something new; excited about a new venture or project or attempting something transformative and positive in my life. Her voice speaks to tell me, as if I don’t already know, all the fears that exist inside my head – don’t call those people, you’ll be bothering them, and they will say no anyway; who wants to hear what you have to say; that’s a big, hairy audacious goal –you can’t achieve that, how are you going to pay your bills with no money and no clients! Not long ago, Natalie was on loud speaker and running that negative rhetoric on repeat. I was being bombarded with so much: full-time job ending unexpectedly one year ahead of my planned exit strategy, the opportunity to build my Coaching practice full-time, developing short and long-term plans for the business, while still paying the bills and keeping a roof over my head. Natalie was talking, and I was listening, too well I may add; however, in this instance Natalie needed a response. I had to prove the adage wrong and answer Natalie back and shut her down!
