Who Am I?

Have you ever found yourself asking, Who am I? If not, this question should entice every individual to consider their existence, where they derived, and what constitutes their purpose. During the month of February we traditionally reach back into time to reflect upon generations of people who have made incredible strides towards excellence. We can use their accomplishments and triumphs as illustrations of commitment, determination, ambition, scholastic achievement, and confidence.

Susan L. Taylor says that "Whatever we believe about ourselves and our ability comes true for us." To grasp this understanding would truly unveil the talents, intellect, and limitless capabilities of all women. Knowing who you are means recognizing your strengths and tackling opportunities that will allow you to incessantly evolve into what you are truly meant to be. Be aware that in discovering who you are will include stumbling, falling faint and even questioning your purpose.

However, being unsure, growing weary and sometimes failing are the components of life that humble our spirits and create a balance that reminds us we don't have to be perfect. Yet, overcoming your fears and your challenges is what builds character and in essence will in part define who you are. Ephesians 6:10-12 tells us to "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." Therefore, in knowing who you are, and who's you are, also know that you will never stand alone. In close, Ralph Ellison once said, "When I discover who I am, then I'll be free."
