I Am Who I Am

Now, more than ever before, I realize that I am who I am, and I need to continue to be true to that. While I have known that all along, I guess I know it better now.

I am realizing more and more every day my limitations. I know what I'm good at and what I'm not so good at. I know what I like to do. I know what I hate to do. I know what I like to do for fun. I know some things that aren't fun at all.

While all of that may sound very simple to you, I know for myself that I am continuing to learn every day more of who I am and who God made me to be. It has been quite a journey, but I'm glad I have taken it.

I hope to help you on your journey also. Through some of the painful and confusing moments of the past three years, I have learned that others on are their own journeys just like I am. And maybe I have gone through what I have in order to help others on their journeys. Many times in the past two years, I found myself teaching on the topic of "Living In Your Sweet Spot" and I thought to myself, "I haven't found my sweet spot yet -- what makes me qualified to help someone else?" All the while, I was in my sweet spot. I was helping other people learn. I was helping people connect the dots in their own lives. I was helping people find purpose and meaning. I was joining people -- if only for a brief time -- to help them on their journey.

So I will continue tomorrow being who I am. I will do whatever I am supposed to do in a way that is uniquely "me." That's who I'm supposed to be. I will teach and write and talk and relate in a way that is true to who I am. I don't have to be anyone else. I will be me, and let the results take care of themselves.
