Passionate About Fueling Your Growth and Influence!
By all accounts, I had a ‘normal’ family growing up. We all loved each other. My parents never divorced. My younger sisters and I got along great. I never experienced the trauma of any kind of abuse that so many have. I earned a four-year college scholarship relieving my parents of that financial burden. And fresh out of college I landed a phenomenal job at IBM. I married my college sweetheart and started a family!!
Everything should have been okay. Right? But, there I was, that Sunday evening in July 1977, coming face-to-face with the fact that in the secret place of my heart, I was cracking up — I was broken inside. And I needed help NOW before all the pieces fell apart!!
So What Happened?
I’m not exactly sure when the cracking began. But, that day, I realized I could no longer ignore the cracks. I also knew I could not continue hiding behind the ‘mask’ I used to cover them and conceal the real me (the ‘Imposter Syndrome’ is real y’all!!).
I’m sure it wasn’t just one thing or just one moment in time. It was many things over the course of my life — things, both small and large that chipped away, almost unnoticed, at my identity.
So, despite appearances, the cracking started and it worsened with every life experience of being bullied, shamed, mishandled, misunderstood, rejected, disappointed, overlooked, devalued, unappreciated (the list could go on and on) — leaving me feeling like I was not good enough — a failure; overwhelmed and unqualified; unfulfilled and insignificant!!
It was all enough to make me dislike who I was. Enough to make me want to be like anyone else except me.
The Blessing of Breaking Through
A baby bird is “born” by pecking through its shell. This exhausting and sometimes terrifying process is actually what builds its strength to survive!
So, too, I’ve learned, we must endure breaking through the shell — the mask, of spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical trauma to embrace our purpose and thrive on our passion!
As I came face-to-face with my brokenness, the love of God flooded my heart. And something WONDER-FULL™ started happening. I began to understand that I am good enough for Him. (Say that with me: “I AM GOOD ENOUGH!“)
So began my journey of self-discovery and acceptance. So began the process of gradually removing the mask, revealing the REAL me, and fueling my growth and influence.
