Do you know what your purpose is? What sets your soul on fire? What fills your heart with joy?
Do you know what makes you feel the most fulfilled when you are doing it?
When last have you taken the time to answer these questions? Or maybe you’ve never taken the time to really ponder these questions.
This blog may find you in the deepest of valleys or at the top of a mountain. Wherever you are, I know that 2020 was unexpected for all of us. Some of us have struggled through it and some of us have found a way to thrive through it but one thing is for sure, 2020 year has shown us all that life is short and that we have to make sure we are living purposefully and passionately.
As we start this New Year, it’s the perfect time for us to reflect and go into 2021 with the right mind-set and the right goals.
Are you content and happy about where you are in life right now? Do you believe that you are living out your “best life” as the “best version of yourself?”
Yeah, I know, these are some deep questions but they are necessary questions to answer as we seek to live a whole and healthy lifestyle. I’ve really thought about these questions over the past couple of years and in my journey to answering these questions, I discovered that in order for us to live our best lives, passionately and purposefully, we must intentionally work on being our best selves DAILY.
We must take the time to invest in our spiritual, mental, physical and social health, to nurture them and grow in them.
You see, self-care isn’t selfish, but rather it prepares you and equips you to be a blessing to those around you, to walk out your purpose boldly.
Are you using your gifts and talents for the glory of God? Are you sharing the light inside of you with the world?
My hope and prayer for each one of us is that from this year and beyond, we would live an abundant life. That we would work daily to become whole and healthy individuals and that we would all shine our light in this dark world.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are in adequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.”

P.S. I encourage you to take some time to write out the answers to these questions in a journal and write out your action plan/goals that you have for yourself this year. God bless you!
