ALL MY PIECES

Most days, I didn't know how I would do what I wanted to do. I didn't have much direction and couldn't see how to make it happen. What is it?
My mindset was all over the place. I couldn't seem to be able to make the right decisions. All this put me into "freeze" mode. It exposed my hesitation. The problem? I didn't know who I was under all the expectations laid on top of me!

How can you do yourself if you don't know who you are?

Did you know you can walk around most of your life dreaming of doing amazing things? But not seeing those things happen? I think we all have been in that place!

I knew things happened for a reason. I had strong enough belief for that! I always looked for the positives in life. Much to the annoyance of others! I loved to share my thoughts and ideas. It overwhelmed me at times!

What if I told you that the three ideas in the sentences above told a story about me?

It's a story of 4 talents I have turned into four strengths I use daily. But, honestly, I didn't know that I already knew terrific things about how God had put me together. How I looked at the world was a gift to myself and others as I turned these talents into useable strengths.

The story I tell today comes from another strength I've always danced around. My ability to retell my journey so I can relate my thoughts and ideas to you! Can you see it? Can you see those things in you? Those little details about how you do you?

They are nothing like mine! I know for sure that you and I are wonderfully unique. We may have similarities, but we are all so different. That is what I love most about discovering the themes in my life.

They have helped me develop gratitude for who I am. This gratitude has become the appreciation I have for others, too.

I've seen how my Connectedness is the glue that holds all my other strengths together. It's why I can see how I can gather all I am and share it with all of you!
