Remember Who You Are And Go Forth

Today you will discover how your identity can unlock why you are here and what you can do with your life.

This post will explore identity themes linked to purpose and reason with activity questions and examples to discover more about you as your takeaway message.

The Identity Hunt

Heads-up I love all things psychology and identity. Why? Because I feel like an odd person when I compare myself to the standards of society. I don’t see how what I do is meant to fit in with the “greater works.” It leaves me with a lack of self and a lack of feeling accepted.

That creates a curveball back to the question: Why did this higher power (God) summon me/create me into the world for this era?

What is your purpose?

Will this higher power tell me the exact reason I am here?

What is my assignment?

Am I to join the military and have missions?

What am I to do?

I believe the answer is found through God (higher power/faith), but also by realizing what makes you so very different from those around you.

Ask yourself these questions:

1. What are you naturally good at?
2. What have you experienced that others are often amazed to hear?
3. If you do believe in a faith/God/religion – have you tried asking what you are doing here?

When I answer these questions, it looks like this:

1. I am naturally good at talking, storytelling, creating, connecting, and seeing things others miss.
2. I have experienced an array of abuses and have managed to get out, get help, and share my experiences in hopes others won’t make the same mistakes I did.
3. I have asked God what I need to do, and His answer is to write and share with the communities around me. (Hello Move Fwds Community!)

Sometimes your past can point to your path and future

As a young girl, I dreamt of being an author. Yet, my writing was atrocious. Despite doing relatively well in school, my writing let me down. I recall teachers often sighing at my assessment work saying it made no sense. Yet a public speaking assessment I would wing last minute and score top marks. If it was left to me, public speaking (think politics) is where I would probably have gone.

But I’ve been inspired to write because ‘God told me to.’
