Image: the general impression that a person, organization, or product presents to the public.
(Oxford Languages)
Especially in today’s world, an image can temporarily kidnap ones self or worse, forever derail a person from knowing her/his self, purpose or finding contentment in a fulfilled life. Being true to oneself is easier said than done.
In the simplest of forms, it is predominately with honest intentions of either wanting to be accepted or approved by loved ones or peers, our desired path to follow can become skewed. Many, if not all of us, will explore and present various versions of ourselves. With this we can get lost. We can get lost trying to figure out who we are and our purpose. For some, this is where frustration enters or giving up or persevering.
A dear friend gave me a necklace with a pendant reading, “Those who wander are not necessarily lost.” This was comforting. Wandering with purpose is productive. Wandering without purpose can be frustrating and unproductive.
Silencing the noise that surrounds us, taking a meditative or reflective moment, share some time with our books, “The Great Connection” (TGC) and “Find Your Passion” (FYP).
You will see yourself and others in the TGC story’s characters. You will see the differences and similarities of each of the characters as well as why you and others behave the way they do!
FYP imparts a structure you can and will repeat throughout your life. First to apply the FYP structure to identify your purpose and your gift, but also the many passions that are in tandem. This self discovery can and will fuel your confidence to be you, a comfortable confident you.
