Finding Yourself Is An Amazing Feeling
Posted by LaTara on August 7, 2008
About two weeks ago I wrote a post about an epiphany I had. I realized that I am a point of finding myself and it sure feels great! I am not sure if it is all about being a few months from 40 or if it is just that I am finally hearing what God has been saying to me for years. Whatever it is, it really does feel good to be in this position!
I have listened to this person and that person about who I am and yet I never quite felt comfortable about what they had to say. It was as if something were missing. However, there were times when I listened and found myself in the middle of some situations that I did not want to be in. Now I don’t blame anyone because they were just trying to help and meant well, as we often do when we give advice. However, I should have listened to the voice that was guiding me elsewhere.
I have decided a few things about my life where my family, business, and my ministry is concerned:
- My family is blessed beyond measure and we have to appreciate that daily.
- Brehane is a major focus for me right now and everything I do must reflect that fact.
- If am not satisfied in my personal life, I will not be satisfied in anything I do.
- My business direction is changing and I must accept that and move with it.
- I only play to an Audience of One and it is He who I must seek to glorify
- I don’t have to feel guilty because my business direction is changing. I need to do what is best for my life as it is.
- I have to work smart and not wear myself into the ground. If I am overworking myself I am no good to God or anyone else.
- I must use what I have effectively
- I have to work being married daily because it ain’t no joke.
- My business must surround my personal mission and focus, if it doesn’t then for me it just won’t work.
- I love serving others and helping them to succeed.
- I have a heart for your women and want them to learn to see themselves as God does.
- God has given me the uncanny talent of creative communication. I have to use it and do it well.
- I am tired of spinning my wheels trying to make things work that aren’t. It is time to use the skills and talents i have and create a stream of income that will be beneficial for my family
There are many other resolutions I have reached but I think this is enough to share for because not everything needs to be shared.
I am at a point where I am at peace with the decisions that I have made and I love where I am in life. This has been a long time coming and I have gone from one end of the world to the other (figuratively that is), to discover what in the heck I am supposed to be doing. There is no way I am turning back now and allowing myself to be trapped back into what it not working for me.
Man, I feel so free writing that out. I really do feel so good about me!
How do you feel about YOU?

Oh Latara, I can so relate to what you just mentioned. I have had to make some major changes in my life as well, but know that with God’s guidance I will make the right decisions.
I know that you will be more at peace with your decisions as well:)

Latara isn’t it wonderful that wisdom comes with age? Makes getting older something to treasure and enjoy as we come to understand ourselves a bit better every day.
I’ve only known you for about the last year but I’ve seen so much change in you…a peacefulness and confidence that’s so inspiring - thank you for sharing.

I know exactly what you mean about finding yourself - I’ve been on that journey recently and I’m loving every minute of it. I’m learning so much about myself. I loved when you said “I am at a point where I am at peace with the decisions that I have made and I love where I am in life” because for once I can HONESTLY say that I’m happy with where I am in life right now! Great post & thanks for sharing.
