One day, my life came to a screeching halt! (Now you must have the visual of someone who is running on 8 cylinders FULL OUT.) I remember looking at my life, all of it – how I dressed, how I decorated my house, where I worked, how I lived, how I raised my kids – I came to a screeching halt, and I said to myself:
“Oh My God - I’ve finally become my mother!”
I wasn’t angry. I wasn’t upset or frustrated. I was just dumbfounded, like I was looking back over the past few years of my life and asking, “What the hell was that?”
I’m laughing about it now, but truly I was stunned.
Then I began to ask myself the next obvious question, “Well, if I’m not my mother, then WHO AM I?” And, folks: This is the greatest question I have ever pondered.
This one question changed the course of my life forever. It set me on a journey of self awareness and self discovery that I am still on today. I now have enormous clarity about who I am, what my truest essence is and how to access and live from that power and strength rather than from the patterns and roles I thought were me.
How? By discovering life purpose! Asking myself a few simple yet powerful questions about who I am and what I love to do.
Is any of this familiar to you? Do you ever wonder which of the roles you’ve played is the real you? Did you ever feel like you became your mother?
Not to worry. I think we’ve all had roles modeled for us. And, taking on roles without questioning whether they are authentic to who we truly are, or not, is normal. So, are you asking the question, “Who am I?”
Got Purpose? If you are asking or if you’re simply at a place in life where you’re looking to crank it up a notch, I’m here to help. Take a moment to answer a few questions and fill in the Rebel Belle Life Purpose Sheet. Have fun and enjoy the process of expressing you!!
By the way, I thought I’d share these pictures with you. Uncanny resemblance don’t you think in how we dressed “the children?” Is this conditioning? Like mother, like daughter!!!
