There comes a time in a woman’s life where she starts to
wonder “WHO AM I”? The timing of this question is different for ever woman but
no matter what it tends to arrive. Now some of you are saying, “Not me, I know
who I am and I know what I want!”, but this question will still surface because
things about you change.
In my twenties, I thought I had it all together, I was a
wife, a mother, a career woman and as my children grew up I found myself getting
lost in everyone’s world except my own. Yes, I did the basic things for myself like went to college and obtained several degrees to earn a better living for
my family but, I was so consumed with making sure everyone was pursuing their
dreams that I forgot all about mine. I stopped running, did not have any hobbies, began to gain weight, and then I realized I was unhappy.
Now, I was not unhappy with my life. I worked hard to have
the lifestyle I was living but I lost me in the process. How many of you have
lost yourself in the midst of taking care of your family and putting their
needs first? A woman’s job is hard. She has to be a wife, mother, taxi, nurse,
caregiver, professional, and the list goes on. These are just the roles you
play, not really who you are.
WHO AM I? Is that special essence that makes you different
from all the rest. It’s the thing that makes you get up in the morning and help
you accomplish your goals. It’s that thing you fight to find because once you
realize and obtain it you know you will be whole.
Now this journey will not be easy and you might take a while
to find yourself again, but the soul searching will be worth it.

A question that has me thinking..who I am aside from being a great Mom
ReplyDeleteThat's a great start. Enjoy your journey. ASK yourself, "What is the thing that makes you happy that you would do for free? " Then start working towards it.
DeleteI asked myself that question when I walked away from an abusive marriage. WHO I'M I!!! I learned that I did not know myself because I learned I was a mother at 16 I had to take care of my son. I knew myself as a mother. After I left that abusive man. I set out to learn WHO I'M I...many years later I know who I am and I learned so much from my journey of finding out who I'M! Thank you
ReplyDeleteThis question has come up twice in my life...when I got a divorce and now that all my kids expect 1 is grown. My daughter was worried about me and asked "what are you going to do now? You have lived your life for us. What will you do for yourself." The statement brought me to tears because at that moment the only me i knew was the mother in me. So, now I am discovering who I am again. Thanks for sharing
