September 22, 2015- Purpose.
Have you ever looked at the
items in your kitchen or just throughout your home and realized that particular
item only has one general purpose? I mean even going through your local WalMart
or Target, how many items can you identify that ONLY have one purpose but you
GOTTA have it? Like an "egg yolk separator" for example. I mean "really
seriously…"
Remember this: you are not made for only one thing or
purpose. You are plentiful in your abilities and skills but it is up to you to
find them out and explore them. We have to realize that we are not "one
trick ponies". "I can sing
and that's all I am good at" or "I am pretty good at drawing but…that's about it". No,
it's not.
Like I share with some of the
young ladies I mentor, never in my wildest thoughts did I ever see myself being
a public speaker. I never saw myself using my abilities of theatrics and speech
to do outreach in my community. See the thing is, in my mind, all I thought I
was good at was acting: performing. That's it. And then…something happened. For
the briefest of time, I decided to explore a "Plan B". But not just
any Plan B, but to actually teach my craft rather than just perform it. And
wouldn't you know, I was great at it! Using my skills to influence people to
speak out, find confidence in themselves, and speaking in public. Sometimes I
have met people, young and old, finally find the strength to speak out about
something that has plagued them for years. By teaching, I created an atmosphere
and forum for them to express themselves: artistically and spiritually.
What an amazing discovery
when you uncover your 'dual' purposes. Hey! You may even have more than that. A
little advice: you know that "thing" you have always wanted to try
but have been putting off for months or years….do it. Try it and see what
happens.
